A bus driver and five passengers had a lucky escape when their vehicle plunged into a swollen river in the Gadag area of the southern Indian state of Karnataka on Monday.
As the bus got caught in the current, locals rushed to help and used ropes to pull out all on board, including a young boy.
Karnataka has been hit by heavy rain since Sunday. Struggling in a storm, the bus skidded off the road and fell into the river.
"The passengers were screaming for help when the bus toppled off the bridge and dived into the stream," an eyewitness told Caters News Agency.

Screaming at the top of your lungs like a banshee always helps to facilitate rescues.

We have seen from video that there has been heavy rain, the flood has risen so high, and we can't see where the road is at all. Why did the bus driver make such a choice?
