This Bus Almost Fell Into 100-Feet Deep Well in Anantapur

Death was just an inch away for over 30 passengers traveling in an RTC bus! The bus driver, who wanted to avoid hitting a biker, swerved the vehicle a tad too acutely and could stop the bus barely an inch or two away from falling into a 100-feet-deep road-side step well. The precariously hanging bus made one feel as if the driver told himself "Aaj Kuch Toofani Karjaye" as in a soft drink ad.

The incident occurred near Mamillapalli Kunta Crossroads in Anantapur district on Tuesday. The Gorantla-Puttaparthi bus had literally cheated a sure and certain disaster by a hair breadth. All the 20 commuters were safely evacuated. They suffered minor injuries. But, in the process of swerving the bus hit a pedestrian, who died on the spot.
