Mangaluru, Apr 8: A collision between a Maruti Omni and a private bus at Kantavara cross near Belvai here on Wednesday April 8 resulted in the instant death of a person.

The deceased has been identified as Veerappa, owner of Manjunath cycle shop at Alangar, who was driving the Omni.

He was returning with his family members after attending a wedding at Sanoor, when a private bus plying from Moodbidri towards Karkala rammed into the Omni near Kantavara cross.

Veerappa died on the spot while his wife, daughter and another lady relative sustained minor injuries. His daughter and the relative have been admitted to a hospital in Mangaluru, while his wife underwent treatment at a hospital in Moodbidri, sources said. Veerappa's son who studies in SSLC did not attend the wedding due to exams, it is learnt.

Veerappa was active in religious and social works, locals said.

Moodbidri police arrived at the spot and registered a case.

    Let the GOD Almighty may give them the strength to bear the loss.
    RIP.

    I think its not a mistake of Bus driver (reckless driving). Its some mistake of R.T.A department, because R.T.A given a permit to busses and given a particular time to reach the destination.
    Example: Mangalore to Udupi Express bus they have to reach within 90 Mints. How they reach without reckless driving in 90 Mint?? They have to reach the destination, thats why accidents happens several times. RTA should to take some steps for timing. I think, then only we can avoid atleast 50% to 60% of accidents.

    RIP, accidents happen when both the drivers are negligent. If one of the driver is careful, accidents can be avoidable.

    Now a days all the accidents are caused or by involvement of busses. Why,is there any one to answer for this. I really pity on the responsible department, who can not control the way the busses operate.

    Nationalise this route or introduce Govt busses. It may solve many problems. In Puttur route,govt busses are running and accidents are negligible. What our MLAs are doing ?

    Cyclists become auto drivers and think that they can maneuver their autos like cycle and create problems for other road users.

    Auto drivers then become bus drivers and think that they can maneuver buses like autos and create havoc on the streets.

    Y these bus drivers don't care about small vehicles.
    If R.T.O take proper care they can minimize these kind of accidents.
    Over speed, Overtakes should be watched.
    Life is Valuable
    Please drive carefully, take care of ur life, others also.

    Finally Shriraj RIP. About time God answered my prayer to get this bus off the road. I have called on Traffic Police,PCR and even RTO on this Bus few times,but still, same Idiot Driver was driving. I knew that this bus would kill someone as the way driver was driving. Hope this bus driver will be killed by another Bus driver. Then His family will understand the pain of others.

    Is it possible? Bus owners should come under one roof & operate without any competition. Profit should be shared equality end of the day/week, considering the number of bus each owns. Hope by doing so regular accidents can be avoided.

    RIP Veerappanna

    Travelling Karkala-Moodbidri-Mangalore by Express buses are like taking roller coaster ride.

    These reckless drivers seriously need counselling.

    It does not look like a head-on collision as the right front side of the bus is not damaged. Seems like to Omni was approaching the highway from a service street. Whatever be the reason, a precious life is lost. RIP

    i see this bus everyday. these buses which have unqualified Formula one drivers are nightmare for the people. they stop as and when they want. brake lights dont work. busses are overcrowded, drivers and conductors are fighter cocks. i wish Mangalore had Government busses than Private busses. Wake up and Save Your lives. Stay Away from these Busses.

    Is this an case of reckless driving by The Bus driver?. Investigation by the police will reveal the details.

    If - as in the case of several other car and bus collisions, the fault is of the bus driver, the hand hand of justice should come down severely on the guilty.

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY THINK 'EXPRESS BUS' MEANS.
    SHOULD STOP AL EXPRESS CULTURE AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE NORMAL LIKE 'BEST' 40 KM/H SPEED MAXIMUM LIKE BOMBAY.

    Even at 40KMPH a heavy bus will do a heavy damage to the small and unsafe car.
