The driver suffered a seizure while driving, causing him to accidentally press the accelerator. The bus sped forward uncontrollably, colliding with multiple vehicles before coming to a halt.

A Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus lost control near Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, crashing into nine vehicles, including three autorickshaws, three cars, and several two-wheelers, after the driver reportedly suffered a sudden medical emergency.

According to officials, the driver, 35-year-old Lokesh Kumar, suffered a seizure while driving, causing him to accidentally press the accelerator. The bus sped forward uncontrollably, colliding with multiple vehicles before coming to a halt.
