The incident reportedly took place on Monday, 4 August, in Karnataka's Chitradurga. According to reports, the autorickshaw driver and the passengers in it miraculously escaped death, though they sustained injuries.
According to reports, this accident occurred when an autorickshaw was carrying passengers and a speeding bus hit it from behind. At the same time, another bus was travelling in front of the autorickshaw, causing the auto to become trapped between both buses and be severely crushed. People present at the scene immediately raised the alarm and began efforts to rescue the injured.
With the help of local people, all the injured were immediately admitted to a nearby hospital, where doctors reported that everyone had sustained serious injuries, but their lives were out of danger.
