The incident unfolded as the bus traversed through Peramangalam in Thrissur district with the woman suddenly going into advanced labour and experiencing intense contractions.

Reacting swiftly to the emergent situation, the vigilant bus driver, displaying presence of mind, diverted the route towards Amala Hospital upon realizing the gravity of the situation. The bus staff promptly notified the hospital authorities about the impending childbirth.

As the bus reached Amala Hospital, passengers were quickly disembarked to allow medical professionals to attend to the expectant mother. With the woman already in the advanced stage of labour, every moment counted.
