According to police, the bus was in full speed when the incident took place. The driver had lost control over the wheels.

"The driver and conductor of the bus fled the spot.

The passengers were left stranded on the road,"said a police official.

Nine low-floor buses of the DTC have caught fire in the past 25 days. The Delhi government has instituted an inquiry into the series of such incidents.

About 900 low-floor buses were brought in to replace the killer Blueline fleet of the Capital two years ago.
