Shivamogga: Timely action by the conductor of the Shivamogga-Mangaluru bus averted a major accident after the driver of the bus fainted at the wheel on Tuesday.

As per the reports the driver of the bus had developed giddiness at the wheels near the Mandagadde Gajanur Tunga River road around 12:05 pm and lost control over the vehicle. The bus was reportedly carrying around 25 passengers. The bus turned off the road and headed towards the nearby river. Few of the passengers even tried jumping from the moving bus in a bid to save their lives. However, Bhagwan (conductor), a native of Teerthahalli; was quick to notice this and rushed to the driver’s seat and drove the vehicle onto the road by saving many passengers’ lives.
