Recently, a woman was critically injured after being run over by a state-owned Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus while crossing the road near the bus terminal in Tumakuru, located 70 km from Bengaluru.
A video posted on the social media platform X by a Karnataka portfolio could not be independently verified by HT Digital. According to the post, eyewitnesses claimed the KSRTC bus was allegedly speeding when the woman, apparently unaware of the approaching vehicle, stepped onto the road. As seen in in the video, the collision was severe and resulted in critical injuries to the woman.
In another incident in August, a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus mowed down two bikers crashing into several cars on a busy road. The bikers had sustained critical injuries.
