28 injured in private bus collision in Mangaluru

On Wednesday morning in Mangaluru, two private busses crashed head-on near Madhava Nagar at Chelyar, leaving 28 people injured.
One of the busses was carrying college students, school kids, teachers, and other passengers on their way from the State Bank of India Bus Terminal to Chelyar.

TL;DR

Incident caught on dashboard camera

The city bus was taking a turn when it was hit by another bus heading to Bajpe.
Both drivers and a conductor were among those hurt, but thankfully everyone is out of danger after being taken to hospital.
The whole incident was caught on a dashboard camera in the city bus—thanks to this footage, police have registered a case against the Bajpe-bound driver and are still investigating exactly what went wrong.
Dashboard cameras are becoming more common on Mangaluru's private busses now, helping make accident investigations faster and clearer for everyone involved.
