New Delhi : A speeding Blueline bus Sunday morning crushed an unidentified man in central Delhi, making him the 108th victim of the capital’s notorious ‘killer’ buses this year.
The bus, plying on route no.300 between Central Secretariat and Noida, knocked down the man in his forties while he was crossing the Barakhamba road.
“The driver fled from the spot and a team has been formed to arrest him,” said a police officer at the Connaught Place police station.
The 4,000-strong Blueline bus fleet, which forms a crucial part of Delhi’s public transport system, has also injured more than 160 people this year.
The authorities have announced plans to phase out the buses.
