Shocking Crash in Kerala: Mahindra Scorpio-N Causes Rear Axle and Wheels to Detach from KSRTC Bus

In a shocking incident in Kerala, a Mahindra Scorpio-N crashed into a KSRTC bus, causing the rear axle and wheels of the bus to detach. The accident took place on Thursday morning in Kottarakkara, when the speeding Scorpio-N rammed into the side of the bus, which was en route from Kottarakkara to Punalur. The powerful collision caused the bus to lift into the air briefly, with the rear axle flying off, leaving the bus without power. Passengers aboard the bus sustained minor injuries. Thankfully, the bus landed upright, but the driver lost control due to the damage to the rear wheels. The incident has sparked concerns over road safety and the dangers of overspeeding. #KeralaCrash #MahindraScorpioN #KSRTC #BusAccident #RearAxleDetached #SpeedingAccident #RoadSafety #Kottarakkara #CrashImpact #KeralaNews #TrafficSafety #BusCrash #Overspeeding #ScorpioNCrash #VehicleCollision
