A driver of a civic-run BEST bus in Mumbai fell unconscious while behind the wheel. Fortunately, a disaster was averted due to the quick thinking and actions of the bus conductor, who managed to apply the hand brake, safely bringing the vehicle, carrying 35 passengers, to a halt, stated a PTI report.

The incident occurred late on Saturday night in the northern part of Mumbai, specifically in the Pushpa Park area. As the bus was in motion, the driver suddenly lost consciousness, leaving the vehicle without anyone in control.
