Police have taken the driver into custody and begun an investigation into the incident. In his initial statement, the driver claimed that a brake failure caused him to lose control of the vehicle. Authorities are now examining both mechanical and human factors to determine the exact cause of the accident. A detailed forensic investigation is currently in progress.

Second Major Accident Raises Alarm

This incident comes just days after another fatal crash on the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway in the Ramanagara district. That accident occurred early on March 30, when a bus veered off the road and crashed into a roadside barrier.

The impact left the vehicle severely damaged, and four people lost their lives. Police said the bus was carrying 43 people, including 36 passengers and seven staff members. Preliminary findings suggest that the driver may have fallen asleep while driving, leading to the crash.

The bus dragged along the roadside barrier for nearly 100 metres, causing metal rods to pierce through its side, worsening the damage and casualties.
