Madhya Pradesh: Bus crushes biker after driver dies of heart attack

JABALPUR: A bus driver suffered a heart attack and died at the wheel in Jabalpur on Friday morning. The out-of-control bus rammed several vehicles, killing a biker.

Gohalpur police station in charge Vijay Tiwari said, “The city bus was bringing passengers from Aadhartaal. The signal was red at Damoh Naka but the bus continued to move ahead, hitting a car, an e-rickshaw and a motorcycle. It stopped only after one of its tyres got stuck on the bike.” Panic erupted as the bus plowed through traffic.

“Locals boarded the bus to find driver Hardev Pal, 50, unconscious and slumped on the steering wheel. He was rushed to hospital where doctors declared him dead. He had suffered a fatal heart attack and lost control of the vehicle,” he said. Over half a dozen other motorists, including two children, were injured. A biker, identified as 62-year-old NP Gaur, died in hospital. TNN
