A tragic accident occurred in Kochi on the morning of May 10, claiming two lives as a bike got caught between two Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses. The accident happened at the Chakkaraparambu Junction on the Palarivattom-Vyttila NH bypass.
It transpired after an ordinary KSRTC bus halted at the junction, causing a speeding Garuda bus to ram into the bike from behind, subsequently colliding with the rear of the stationary bus. The road’s slippery condition due to rain might have contributed to the accident. One of the deceased has been identified as Mohammed Sajad of Aluva, as reported by the Palarivattom police.
