Kolkata Red Light Collision: High-Speed Bus Crashes into SUV, Video Footage Emerges

A shocking accident occurred in Kolkata as a private bus collided with an SUV at College Junction, a bustling area in Salt Lake Sector 5, on October 2. Reports suggest that the bus was speeding and ran a red light, causing it to flip over after hitting the SUV. The entire incident was captured by a traffic junction’s CCTV camera and quickly became viral on social media.

During the incident, two motorcyclists on the opposite side of the road narrowly avoided a collision as both the bus and SUV raced toward them. The CCTV footage shows several people rushing to assist the passengers of both vehicles.

As a result of the accident, traffic at the intersection experienced disruptions for approximately 40 minutes while the authorities used cranes to remove the bus.
