A BMTC Volvo bus traveling at high speed toward the airport subsequently crashed into the stationary lorry causing it to lurch forward striking the drivers who were standing in front of the vehicle.

Two drivers lost their lives in an accident on Bengaluru’s Airport Road flyover late Monday night, police reported. The incident, which occurred between 11:20 pm and 11:25 pm near Legacy Cirocco apartments in Jakkur, involved a cement lorry, a Toyota Innova, and a BMTC Volvo bus.

According to DCP Traffic Northeast, a cement lorry and a Toyota Innova initially collided on the flyover. Following the impact, both drivers pulled over on the right side of the road to argue leading to a series of events.
