Scope and content
120 passengers miraculously escape the crash of two double deckers head-on. Although the drivers cabins were a mass of twisted metal; the two drivers escaped with minor injuries. They were taken into police custody and later released on bail. Only one passenger was seriously injured and warded at the general hospital. Police inquiries revealed that both the buses were taking the bend opposite the army general hospital when they ran into each other and then followed a rending crash and the panicked scream of the passengers. The fronts of both buses from the top to the bottom decks were slashed open and a mass of twisted metal was all one could see of the front portion of both the vehicles.
