    From the picture, it looks like the car is on the wrong side of the road. Sometimes we blame heavy vehicles like buses and trucks when the fault lies with the smaller vehicles. Driving a vehicle is different but SAFE Driving different is different and it is the need of the hour. Now he matter is whoever at fault, precious lives are lost. A little extra precaution by the car driver, would not have occurred this accident. It seems from the names it suggests they are all youngsters, Hot blood.RIP.

    Why KSRTC buses are so frequently involving in accidents these days!? Is it related to what a Belthangady depot driver recently revealed about lack of maintenance and no proper facilities for the bus crew to take rest after a
    Every trip!?.
