I would have advised not to mend the gap but to leave it open for the benefit of the next bus driver who cannot negotiate the bend at high speeds but create a path through the gap for safe landing of the bus with passengers in it.

I heard of another bus crash in a Chennai yesterday whose driver said he had worked continuously for 24 hours and did not expect so many curves in a route in which he has never driven before.

An addition to my previous suggestions I would like to add that no driver should be allowed to drive a bus for more than 8 hours at a time and let the drivers drive an empty bus through unknown routes to get used to it before they are put in charge of driving passengers.
