**Karnataka Bus Skids Off Slippery Road, Crashes onto House Roof**
A Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus lost control and crashed onto the roof of a house in Jaldurga village, Chikkamagaluru district, on Wednesday. The incident occurred when the bus, en route from Chikkamagaluru to Sringeri, skidded off a slippery road after light rainfall made conditions hazardous.
The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle near Jayapura in Koppa Taluk, causing it to veer off the road, fall into a ditch, and ultimately come to rest atop a house situated on a slope. The impact resulted in significant damage to the roof of the house.
At the time of the accident, approximately 40 passengers were on board. Two individuals, including the driver, sustained serious injuries, while several others experienced minor injuries and were treated at a local hospital.
This incident follows a tragic event in January, where four pilgrims from Karnataka lost their lives when a KSRTC bus collided with a vegetable-laden truck and another heavy vehicle near Chennai. The bus, which was carrying around 55 passengers, attempted to overtake a tipper lorry and collided head-on with an oncoming truck, leading to a multi-vehicle crash that left many injured.
As authorities investigate the recent accident, it highlights the ongoing concerns regarding road safety, particularly in adverse weather conditions.
