Giridih, Rakesh Sinha: The speed of the luxurious bus (Baba Samrat) going from Ranchi to Giridih was so high that the bus was out of control of the driver and this out of control bus fell down from the bridge after losing its balance near the Barakar river. The speed of the bus was so high that after cutting the steering to the right, the bus suddenly skidded. Eyewitnesses say that after the skit, the northbound bus turned 180 degrees and turned towards the south. After this, breaking many railings, this bus fell into the river, in which 4 people lost their lives and 17 people were injured.
The bus was traveling at high speed
According to the time specified in the route permit, the luxurious bus was to leave Ranchi at 5.05 pm and reach Hazaribagh at 7.20 pm and reach Giridih at 7.45 pm from Hazaribagh. According to the permit, the bus was to take 135 minutes to reach Giridih from Hazaribagh. Accordingly, this bus should have taken 119 minutes to cover a distance of 102 kilometers from Hazaribagh to Barakar bridge. Whereas this bus started from Hazaribagh at 7.45 and met with an accident at around 8.35. In this way, this bus took only 50 minutes to cover the distance of 102 kilometers, which means the average speed of the vehicle was more than 120 kilometers per hour. Rocky Sharma, director of the Sharma Line Hotel, which operates on the banks of the Barakar river, says that the speed of the bus was very high, due to which the accident happened. He told that a red colored Alto car was parked near the Barakar river bridge, which at the same time moved towards Giridih and to save it, the driver cut the bus on the right side, due to which the car became unbalanced and fell into the river.
