According to eyewitness reports and CCTV footage exclusively accessed by NewsFirst Prime, the bus was reportedly speeding when it collided with two motorcycles at the curve. The collision caused the driver to lose control, after which the bus veered off the road and tumbled into a ditch.

Seven passengers onboard the KSRTC bus also sustained injuries, ranging from minor to serious. They were promptly shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Fortunately, no fatalities occurred among the passengers.

The incident has sparked renewed concerns over road safety, especially on sharp turns and poorly monitored routes around Bengaluru. Officials are urging drivers to exercise caution, especially in hilly and curve-prone zones.
