Bantwal, 24 Aug 2016: A truck driver was fatally injured and cleaner miraculously survived, when its brake failed nearby S V S College, here on Tuesday August 23.

 

The truck driver has been identified as forty-year-old Abhilash who was rushed to the hospital by Samaritans.

 

 

The truck was laden with poultry feed plying towards Bantwal town, when the driver faced brake failure on a slope nearby S V S College, here. No sooner, the driver realised brakes have failed despite slamming the pedal for several times, both the driver and cleaner alerted the students who were waiting for the bus nearby their College. The students dispersed from the path of marauding truck and saved themselves from major tragedy.

 

The marauding truck hit the barrier besides the road and overturned spilling the sacks of poultry feed all over the place. 

 

Bantwal patrol police registered a case on the spot.
