Kozhikode: A private bus overturned after hitting a two-wheeler at Arayidathupalam here on Tuesday. There were around 54 people on the bus, and 42 have been admitted to the Baby Memorial Hospital. Among the hurt, 12 are in the Government Medical College Hospital. One person at the private hospital is in critical condition.
The bus, Liya Mol (KL 12 C 6676), plying on the medical college route, met with an accident around 4 pm. The bus en route to Mukkom tried to avoid colliding with a biker who had overtaken a car and veered into its path. The attempt to avoid a two-wheeler resulted in the vehicle crashing into the divider at the Medical College end of the Eranhipalam flyover.
But the bus hit the two-wheel rider, who suffered severe injuries and has undergone surgery at the BMH. Fire Force and police personnel lifted the upturned bus using a crane and removed it from the accident scene.
