Moodbidri, May 28: A severe head-on collision between a private bus and a car occurred near the Beluvai Kantavara Cross on the Karkala-Moodbidri National Highway on Thursday, May 28.

The sheer impact of the crash left both vehicles extensively damaged. This accident took place in the backdrop of a sudden traffic alteration, as the U-turn near Kantavara Cross was abruptly closed off to the public starting Wednesday.

The unannounced closure of the crossroad, specifically for vehicles approaching from the Kantavara side and heading towards Moodbidri, has triggered massive confusion in the daily traffic flow. Motorists attempting to reach Beluvai town from Kantavara are facing severe hardship, as they are now inevitably forced to travel an extended distance up to Chilimbi just to execute a U-turn.

The situation has sparked intense outrage among the local population. Residents emphasize that the sudden, unregulated blocking of the road is the direct cause of the increasing number of accidents in the area.
