    Dont come to conclusion by checking these photographs, and even Police cant give statement without eye witness statement, or without investigation .
    KSRTC driving is always safe, those who complain rash driving has to sit Mangalore to Udupi private buses. or any other private buses for that matter. you will have your heart in the mouth till you reach destination.
    Anyway culprit should be punished who found guilty.

    Rightly said Fayaz. Anytime anywhere accidents happen, always the bigger vehicle is blamed. I have seen people driving car on Mysore Bangalore road. They forget that they are driving car instead think its aeroplane.RIP to the departed.

    But the photographs contradict the police version of the story. The fallen debris, oil / fluid on the road, the deflated front tyre & the position of the bus suggest that the car was completely on the wrong side.

    It is the rash and negligent manner in which the KSRTC bus was driven cause for the tragedy. RIP to the deceased.

    I was 2 min late to witness the accident.. women was already dead, guy was struggling for life.. but it was the problem of the car driver I think.. He was in over speed so he couldn't control.. car is in the left side due to impact. . Accident took place around 15 mts front...
