    Both the drivers died.

    One driver was aged 27. The other aged 22.

    I am sure their vehicles developed some thinking of their own to go out of control!

    In this case, there were no passengers and no people closeby. Otheriwse there would have been more deaths.

    My suggestion to people:
    Do not ever get into a vehicle that is driven by someone 30 years and less.
    Unless you are serious to say goodbye to this world.

    It is not about the age. It is about what's going on in your mind, your skills or how you drive.
    Even good drivers meet with accidents when they have 101 things bothering them in their mind.
    Yes, some accidents Indeed can be avoided if you are totally aware of what you are doing.

    Big loss - for the trucks. Otherwise used for useful transport.

    Only matured (by action) drivers should be employed. Otherwise innocent lives will be lost.

    One truck has occupied other lane.
    No ordinary breaks available within Karnataka vehicles. They run nonstop...
