According to India Today, the incident happened near Yeshwantpur on Monday, when forty-year-old Kiran experienced severe chest pain while driving a bus and collapsed on the seat. As the vehicle started deviating from the path, the conductor hopped in and tried to control the bus.

This is not the first time when such an incident has happened. In a similar incident from Madhya Pradesh, an on-duty bus driver died of a heart attack. The uncontrolled bus collided with nearby vehicles, leaving many people injured.
A city bus in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur rammed into nearby vehicles on road after the bus driver collapsed due to heart attack while driving in 2022. The incident was captured on CCTV camera where the uncontrolled city bus can be seen colliding with other vehicles.
The police officials arrived on the spot and took the injured persons and the bus driver to a nearby hospital. The driver was later declared dead because of heart attack.
