KHUSHAB: A passenger took control of a bus after its brakes failed near Peel Chowk, preventing it from plunging into a ravine and saving more than 25 people, police said.
The bus was travelling down a slope when it went out of control and began moving towards a deep ravine. The driver reportedly jumped out and fled. A passenger then seized the steering wheel and deliberately guided the bus into a mountainside, bringing it to a stop and averting a major accident.
District Police Officer Dr Ammara Shirazi invited the passenger to her office and presented him with a certificate of appreciation. She praised his courage, saying efforts to protect human life were commendable. Police said they are searching for the driver.
