Mumbai bus crash: Driver was not drunk, had no mental illness, says medical test

India Today  

Medical tests of the driver involved in the Kurla BEST bus accident, which claimed eight lives, have indicated he did not have any mental disorder and was not drunk at the time of the incident, police said on Wednesday. Before the commencement of the trial of the case, the driver's psychological test was recently conducted at a civic hospital in Sion to confirm if he had any mental illness, a Kurla police official said. Earlier, More claimed the bus brake failure led to the accident, but police had received a report from the regional transport office, stating the vehicle was working fine and there was no brake or any other technical failure, the official said. RTO officials suspect human error and lack of proper training for driving automatic transmission buses could be the reason behind the accident, among the most horrific involving BEST buses in recent history.
