    Speed kills. Stop flouting safe driving norms, rules. Stop taking risks on roads. They cause much danger to other road users. Please drive responsibly !

    Very sad to read this news. Rest in peace, brother. Whenever I visit India, I notice that many people drive very fast even when the weather is bad, such as during rain, on wet roads, or at night. The speed often remains the same regardless of conditions. Please understand that on Indian roads, we must expect the unexpected—humans, cats, dogs, and even vehicles coming from the wrong direction. To avoid such accidents, we need to be extra cautious while driving. Especially when entering the highway from a service road, many drivers merge without checking for oncoming traffic. This is extremely dangerous. I pray that his family finds the strength to bear this pain.

    When entering the main road from the service road, make sure you drive slowly and steadily. Looks like he entered the main road without thinking. Youngsters, I request that you all drive slowly because each accident makes me sad. Because I believe that accidents are completely preventable, I am feeling SAD and LOW. A long time back, when I was studying in Manipal, I saw similar accidents on highways. Drive slowly and responsibly. Drive carefilly especially in rainy season

    i think the service road widening should have happened before beginning construction of the flyover...both service roads are very narrow....many tourists also come for Malpe on the same route

    NHAI falls under the central govt, so freebies for some people such as Rs.15 lakhs should be stopped & instead utilized on good quality roads.
