Several passengers had a close shave here this evening when an orange cluster bus they were traveling in rammed into the boundary wall of Planning Commission building in the heart of the national capital.
Although no one was injured in the incident, a bike parked inside the wall was damaged.
"The incident took place around 6 PM when the driver of the orange cluster bus bearing registration number DL 1P C6299 lost control of the vehicle after crossing the traffic light installed in front of the Planning Commission and the bus rammed into its boundary wall," said a police official.
The driver was detained and sent for medical examination to determine whether he was drunk when the incident took place.
"We are registering a case of rash and negligent driving and the driver may be arrested in this connection," said a senior police official.
