A quick-thinking conductor stopped the bus when the driver suffered a heart attack in India.

Kiran Kumar, 40, a bus driver from the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), suffered a cardiac arrest while driving his final route of the day from Nelamangala to the Dasanapura area in Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Wednesday, November 6.

Footage shows Kiran suddenly leaning forward and collapsing, causing him to lose control of the bus and crash into another BMTC vehicle.

The heroic conductor, Obalesh, acted quickly to ensure the safety of all passengers on board. Taking control, he stopped the bus safely before rushing Kiran to a nearby hospital.

Tragically, medical professionals were unable to save the driver.

BMTC expressed deep sorrow over the sudden loss of Kiran, a dedicated driver from Depot 40.

The corporation said: 'It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely demise of Kiran Kumar, a driver from Depot 40, who passed away due to a sudden heart attack on November 6.

'The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) expresses its deepest condolences to the family of Kiran Kumar. The corporation prays for the peace of his soul.'
