Kaup, Feb 12: A private express bus lost control and veered off the road after the driver suffered a seizure near Yermalu Tenka Jamiya Masjid on Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred when Shambu Mulki, the driver of a Mangaluru-Udupi express bus, experienced a seizure near Yermalu Tenka. As a result, the bus went off the road, damaging three electric poles and snapping power lines, leading to a power outage.

More than ten passengers sustained minor injuries and were taken to Udupi Hospital in a local ambulance.

The driver, Shambu, is recovering and is out of danger. Padubidri police visited the accident site for further investigation.

    I was in that bus on the driver side in the second seat, I heard him making some weird noise, after that bus went on its own, banging what ever came its way. Out of control. But the feeling was scary and the fear in us was traumatic, it was God's grace nothing major happened. After a good few minutes of driverless bus, it stopped. Looks like driver had jumped out or thrown out. But with such illness one must be responsible not to take Frontline jobs put others life life in danger. public transport services please chk medical records before recruiting. Few got hurt though minor injury, but the experience was a nightmare and Traumatic.

    If the driver or the owner of the vehicle knew before hand aviut the seizure, they wiuld have certainly taken precautions. Please don't blane driver for this. He is driving to feed his family. Even after the incident, he may still drive, with medications, unless the doctor declares him unfit to drive. There is no person in this world who can say with certainty that we wont have or get any illness. Its part of life. So be it.

    In Dubai drivers with seizure/epilepsy problem are banned from driving. This driver should be banned from public service.May be driving an auto will be safer for passenger and himself.
