Indore, Jun 14: A major accident was averted when a bus driver suffered a massive heart attack when he was driving at a high speed, but he managed to bring the vehicle to halt without causing any injury to the passengers in Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh on Monday.
Though the driver lost his life to the cardiac arrest, 29 passengers of the bus had a narrow brush with death.
The incident took place in the afternoon when Rasheed was driving the bus belonging to Arya Travels from Khandwa to Kohdar. As he neared village Chhoti Borgaon, he suffered a heart attack, police said.
