Bus crashes into Noida society wall, 1 person dead | Delhi News

However, eyewitnesses claimed that one other person working at the Momo stand was injured in the episode. The bus drove into an apartment building about five meters after colliding with the boundary wall, was only 10-15 meters from one of the low-rise buildings in the estate, and crashed perpendicularly on the inner perimeter road of the estate.

Police and eyewitnesses estimated that there were around 20-25 passengers in the bus when the incident occurred at 6.54 pm on the road near Shri Ram Apartments in Sector 118, below the limits of Sector 113 police station.

“One person died during treatment at the hospital, the other is injured but is being treated at the district hospital. According to preliminary information, the bus is registered with a private travel agency and was carrying some passengers,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Vidya Sagar Mishra told PTI.
“The driver was apparently unable to negotiate the curve and instead drove the bus into the boundary wall of the estate. How all this happened is part of the investigation and will become clear once the driver is arrested,” Mishra said.

According to eyewitnesses, the bus was traveling from Sector 74/75 towards Sector 122 and the driver lost control of the vehicle on a bend in front of the society.

Bhagat Singh, owner of the fast food stall where Deepak worked, told reporters that he was at the spot when the incident occurred.

“The bus was traveling at high speed. I caught the bus driver, but I was alone and had no support from anyone, so he ran away. When I caught him, he was drunk (under the influence of alcohol),” said Singh, who lives at Shri Ram Apartments.
“I set up this stand for Momo four months ago. Deepak and Sushil lived in the nearby village of Sorkha. Pawan was also injured in the accident. All three were from Nepal,” Singh added.

Meanwhile, police implemented diversions on a section of the road from around 8.45pm after a crane was called in to remove the bus.
