Mangaluru, Dec 4: In what could have been a major tragedy, a speeding bus rammed into a gas tanker at Kodakkal near Kannur on the outskirts of the city today.

The bus belonging to Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation was plying from Dharmasthala to Mangaluru. The tanker, which was in front of the bus, was also heading to Mangaluru.

The mishap occurred when a school van, which was parked on the side of the road, started moving suddenly and entered the road without any indication.

In a bid to avoid collision, the driver of the tanker applied breaks immediately. Within a second, the bus which was moving at a high speed, rammed into the tanker from behind.

At least two persons have suffered injuries in the mishap. They have been admitted to a hospital for treatment.
