Mangaluru: Driver miraculously survives in car-bus head on collision

December 21, 2015

Mangaluru, Dec 21: A youth miraculously survived after the car he was driving was rammed by a speeding bus on National Highway 66 at Beeri check-post near Kotekar on the outskirts of the city on Monday.

The collision took place when Abdul Azeem (23), a resident of Uppala, was heading towards Uppala from Mangaluru.

A lorry parked on the left side of the highway forced the car driver to take to the extreme right. This led to a head on collision between the car and a KSRTC bus plying from Kasaragod to Mangaluru.

The impact of the collision was such that the front portion of the car was completely damaged. However, Abdul Azeem escaped unhurt. A few passengers on board the bus also suffered injuries.
