As per preliminary report, the accident took place due to brake failure. According to the bus driver suddenly the brake pressure of the bus was lost. To reduce the speed of the bus, he tried to reduce the gear and apply hand brake, but that also did not work. Despite many efforts, the uncontrolled bus could not be controlled.
