COIMBATORE: Two people from Pollachi were critically injured when a speeding private bus rammed a car on a rail over bridge (ROB) near SIDCO at Sundarapuram here on Tuesday morning. The bus hit two more cars before coming to halt by smashing into the parapet wall of the bridge.
The car in which Nithin Prasad, 24, and his elder sister Kanjanadevi, 35, were travelling was completely mangled and other two cars were slightly damaged.
Bus driver Prakash was trying to overtake a vehicle on the bridge when he lost control of the bus and collided head-on with the car in which the injured were travelling from the opposite direction. The bus was on its way towards Pollachi from Coimbatore.
