TNSTC bus overturns in Madurai, nine injured
Madurai: A Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) bus travelling from Coimbatore to Ramanathapuram via Madurai overturned after hitting a median near Arapalayam around 10:30 pm on Friday, leaving nine people injured, including the driver.
The accident occurred on AA Road when the driver reportedly lost control of the bus (Reg. No. TN 63 N 1919), causing it to hit the median and topple. Of the 25 passengers on board, one suffered a fractured arm, while eight others sustained minor injuries.
Six of the injured, including driver M Lakshmanan, were admitted to Government Rajaji Hospital. Three others were treated at Meenakshi Mission Hospital. The conductor, Kalidas, was unharmed.
Police said the bus was recovered using a crane and taken to the Karimedu police station for further investigation. Preliminary findings suggest poor visibility due to inadequate street lighting may have contributed to the crash.
Traffic officials stated that steps would be taken to improve lighting and enhance road safety in the area.
