Mangalore: In an incident, a Ballal Volvo bus, which had come all the way from Bangalore, was on its way to Hampankatta to drop 8 passengers met with an accident near St Therasa School on June 1, Wednesday.
The bus while taking the curve at Upper Bendur Road, got skid because the surface was smooth as it had rained at night. The bus rammed into a private compound wall causing a huge damage. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
According to the eyewitness the compound wall collapsed due to rain the previous night. A blocked drain had led to water logging of the compound. The estimated loss to the owner is around Rs. 30 thousands to Rs. 40 thousand.
Corporator Naveen D’Souza, who arrived at the spot, provided traffic management guidance and assisted in the retrieval of the bus. He said that he will get speed breakers installed as soon as possible.
