A water bottle became the unlikely culprit in a bus accident in Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka, causing a stir on social media. The incident occurred when a Volvo bus lost control on a flyover and collided with several vehicles, leaving two people injured and causing damage to multiple vehicles.
The Incident Unfolds
As the bus was traversing the city’s busy flyover, the driver suddenly lost control of the vehicle. Unable to apply the brakes due to a blockage, the bus surged forward into the traffic, crashing into vehicles ahead. The driver, confused and panicked, struggled to comprehend the situation. Thankfully, the bus was moving at a low speed, which prevented more severe injuries and damage.
The Unusual Cause
Upon investigation, it was discovered that a water bottle had rolled under the brake pedal, preventing the driver from stopping the bus. This bizarre yet serious oversight was captured on the bus’s CCTV camera, which recorded the entire incident. The video has since gone viral, drawing significant attention online.
Authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the accident. The footage from the CCTV camera will be crucial in understanding how the water bottle found its way under the brake pedal and in preventing such incidents in the future.
This incident highlights the importance of maintaining clear and safe driving conditions to prevent accidents caused by unexpected obstacles.
