Mysuru: Over 35 passengers of a luxury KSRTC bus (Volvo multi-axle) travelling from Bengaluru to Mysuru had a providential escape yesterday when the driver stopped the bus following a rupture in the fuel tank. Luckily the tank did not catch fire and the passengers were vacated as over 300 litres of diesel spilt from the fuel tank.
The incident occurred at around 3.30 pm on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway at Shettihalli near Gananguru in Srirangapatna after the driver of a running KSRTC multi-axle Volvo stopped the bus, following heavy spillage of diesel.
