Bengaluru, May 9 (IANS) At least 25 persons were injured, including four in critical condition, after a Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus hit a metro pillar in Bengaluru on Monday.
According to sources, the bus driver had lost balance trying to avoid a pothole on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway.
Police are looking at this angle.
The incident took place near Kengeri at 1 a.m. and the injured were shifted to nearby hospitals.

The bus was travelling to Bengaluru from Madikeri. The damage to the metro pillar is being assessed.
Police said that a total of 45 persons were travelling in the bus.
If not for the Metro Pillar, the bus would have gone to another side of the highway and collided with a vehicle coming from the opposite side, which would have led to a greater tragedy, the police added
