In yet another Amdavad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) accident in the city, a bus rammed into eight vehicles due to a reported brake failure at around 9 pm on May 12.
A chaotic situation followed after an AMTS bus from Iscon Cross Roads heading towards the Star Bazaar near Jodhpur Char Rasta rammed into eight vehicles one by one.
The accident involved three cars, two autorickshaws, and two-wheelers, which led to a traffic jam in the area.
A total of five people were injured in the accident. The staff of the nearby Satellite police station and N division rushed to the spot.
Shedding light on the incident, the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) traffic Ahmedabad (West), Neeta Desai said, “The accident was a result of the brake failure of the AMTS bus. The police are investigating the matter. Luckily, no casualty has been reported.”
This was a third-of-a-kind accident involving an AMTS bus in the last three months; the most recent one occurred in the Berhampur area, where a two-wheeler driver was crushed to death by AMTS in April.
