APSRTC bus crashed into median; no injuries reported

An Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) bus met with an accident near Sivananda Circle in the city on Thursday morning after the driver allegedly swerved to avoid an autorickshaw.

The bus was travelling from Adoni to Bengaluru via Anantapur when the incident occurred. As the vehicle approached Sivananda Circle, an autorickshaw reportedly came close to the bus’s left side. In an attempt to avoid a collision, the driver steered the bus to the right, losing control and crashing into the road divider.

The impact of the crash caused significant damage to the front portion of the bus, with the front wheel and engine components getting dislodged due to the force of the collision.

Despite the severity of the accident, no passengers were injured. The driver, who has reportedly been operating on the same route for the past four years, stated that the mishap occurred while trying to avert a collision with the autorickshaw.
