Bantwal, Jun 23: One person was killed and another injured when a mini truck rolled over after ramming into a house in Neralekatte near here on Monday June 22.

The deceased has been identified as the driver of the ill-fated truck and is yet to be named. The cleaner of the vehicle has been admitted to a hospital in Mangalore in critical condition. 

The incident occurred at about 2.30 pm on Monday as the truck laden with goods from Mangalore, was plying towards Vittal when it rammed into a house owned by one Sharief, located beside the road.

 






The driver seemed to have lost control of the vehicle. As a result, it rolled over in the midst of the hall and the driver died on the spot.

The locals rushed the critically-injured cleaner to a hospital in Mangalore.  Vittal police have registered a case in this regard.

Recently, two persons were injured in a similar incident in the same locality.

    Why people make houses without keeping proper road margin.There ARE Lakhs of Houses in India on beside roads including national high ways.The road authority should keep a check on this when they apply for renovation of the building so they can be controlled from further narrowing the road.

    I think it must be a sharp turn or so, where the driver could not control his vehicle may be due to over speed.If it is a dangerous spot road should be widened and some humps laid.Now one bread winner of a family has lost his life.Still we are not awaken by this house can be moved little back,or rebuilt life will not be back, think about it.

    Is there some one to explain the meaning of comments? Plenty of people scribling and fighting each other in the name of "comments". Is it necessary? is it worthy?

    Dear Niveditha..Thanks for your comments. I would like to remind you that NO DRIVER IN THE WORLD BANGS THE VEHICLE DELIBERATELY unless he/she is a suicide bomber !!...Accident occurs either through OVER SPEED or through CARELESSNESS. I have sympathy towards driver''s family.Hope I didn''t hurt anyone.

    I fully agree with you Niveditha, Dubai / Mangalore. No body is going to do ''Speed thrills but kills'' - by keeping his own life in danger. Accident will occur to anybody/anywhere/anytime..cannot be avoided. It''s not atall case of done it purposely. May be due to overloading, lost control and many more reasons. Thanks God nothing has happen to residing people for not fault of there''s.

    Dear Jaimini, how could you talk like that. Poor driver he has lost his life. You are not bothered about his death but only worrying for the family. he has not banged the vehicle purposely if so he could have saved his life. Of course there are damages to the property but thank God that no one from the house is injured. There could be an alternative as to claim the damages.

    Who will pay damages to owner of the house ? House is in dangerous condition and very risky to stay. Poor owner. "Speed thrills but kills" Unforutnately, Speed has not only killed driver but also ruined somebody''s property.
