The sudden impact caused the bus to lurch violently to one side, sparking panic among the passengers on board. However, the bus driver displayed immense skill and presence of mind to regain control of the vehicle, preventing a potentially fatal accident.
No injuries were reported, and an alternative bus was later provided for the passengers to continue their journey.
Following the incident, locals have demanded mandatory, regular fitness checks for passenger vehicles—especially buses—along with compulsory tire inspections to avert such mishaps in the future.
