Narrow escape for students as bus falls into dry tank bed

32 sustain minor injuries, treated as out-patients

The bus was ferrying 50 students of Krupanidhi College from its head office in Koramangala, to Carmelaram Post in Chikka Bellandur, where the institute’s branch is located. When the bus reached a narrow road adjoining Gunjur tank, another vehicle approached from the opposite direction.

While attempting to make way for the approaching lorry, the driver pulled vehicle towards left. However,  he lost control over the bus and it fell into 22-foot deep tank bed, police said.

Bus lifted

At least 32 students suffered minor injuries. They were rushed to a nearby hospital and were treated as out-patients at St John’s Medical College and Hospital.  The bus was lifted by a crane. Whitefield police have booked a case of accident.
