The bus, which runs on route number 109A, hit the divider and stopped in the middle of the road, and was later removed using a crane. No one was injured in the incident. “The reason is not clear. I heard a huge crowd shouting as a bus came and hit parked cars and the divider. Fortunately, three women who were walking nearby managed to escape”. After the incident, lawyers expressed concern and demanded exclusive multilevel parking to avoid congestion outside the court.
