The bus lost control while navigating a steep curve, dramatically overturning. Residents and first responders rushed to the scene, helping to rescue the injured and transport them to nearby hospitals in Kargal and Sagar. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported so far.
Passengers on the bus were reportedly travelling to Jog Falls, a popular tourist destination. Police have launched an investigation to identify the exact cause of the accident, including possible driver error or road conditions.
Few days ago, In Kerala’s Palakkad district, four school students lost their lives, and another was injured after being run over by a lorry in Kalladikkode. The lorry, loaded with cement, was headed to Mannarkkad when the accident occurred. The injured student was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Further details about the incident are still awaited.
Meanwhile, in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district, a separate tragedy unfolded a few days ago when four Class 9 students from Morarji Desai Residential School drowned at Murudeshwar Beach during an educational tour. The students had ignored lifeguards' warnings and ventured into the rough sea around 5:30 pm on Tuesday.
Strong currents swept away three students, and one died at the scene. Lifeguards managed to rescue three others, who were taken to the hospital and are now recovering.
