JOIN USIn a freak accident, a 30-year-old DTC bus driver lost his life when the bus, which was in a stationary position, caught speed and rammed into an office at a depot in south Delhi.
The accident happened at 11 am when the bus was being repaired by a mechanic inside the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) depot at Dwarka Sector 2 when it suddenly accelerated and rammed into the wall of the administration block.
