Blame Game Erupts Online
As the clip began circulating on social media, users shared strong and varied reactions in the comment section.
One user demanded, “That bus driver should be arrested,” while an individual added, “That bus driver has to be arrested. He could have killed a lot of people including his passengers.”
Another said, “While that bus driver is at 95 per cent fault, 5 per cent fault is of truck drivers like these who occupy the fastest lane and drive slowly.”
“It’s basic common sense. Don’t drive slow on the fast lane. Bus driver is at fault no doubt, but the other guy should be in the slow lane if he wants to drive slowly,” a person pointed out.
Someone else remarked, “Fast & Furious for people on this side of the road and Final Destination for people on the other side of the road.”
“Most of the bus drivers are maniacs irrespective of state and public or private,” a viewer reacted.
“We are discussing whether it’s the mistake of bus driver or van driver. Well, both are not! It’s the mistake of RTO officer who issued license to both of them without testing even basic driving skills,” read sarcastic comment.
At present, there is no official confirmation regarding injuries or casualties resulting from the incident.
