Mangalore: A KSRTC bus hit the barrier of a minor culvert located at Bangra Kuloor, here on Tuesday May 28 early morning.
The bus was plying from Hubli to Mangalore while it hit the barrier at Bangra Kuloor here at about 5.45am on Tuesday. The bus driver realized the broken steering-rack as it passed through Kuloor junction, but tried to slow down the bus using both pedal and hand brakes. The slippery road further made it difficult the task of driver and managed to drive on the curb but halted stuck on the barrier of culvert.
There were about 45 passengers travelling in the bus when it hit the barrier. All the passengers survived. The traffic on the national highway was disrupted for a few hours till traffic cop arrived and cleared the precariously-hanging bus and normalcy restored.
