    I know, whats the exact reason for this accident... Its nothing but "Greed" for money..! One of my friend is into this fish transport business & he says it all depends on how fast you can transport the perishable goods to destination & thus drivers are lured with incentives or extra perks if he's able to deliver the fish super fast.

    I bet have you ever seen any fish transport vehicle travelling in normal speed! Never coz Time is Money!

    Traffic Polices are blind about this Fish carrying trucks, they always drive very harshly & always over speeding without giving way to rear side vehicle.

    They continuously drive on fast tracks creating traffic blockage.

    Secondly, the dirty wast water flashes on the rear side vehicle.

    Shifting Bars and Wine shops 500 Mtrs away from a highway may reduce loosing control over vehicle certainly.

    The Highway definetly require Speed Brakers. Time and again it is spoken in his forum But Authorities are having great sleep. May be they are waiting for another bigger tragedy (worst than Trasi accident) to take place.

    A terrible accident which I feel was due to speeding. The picture itself shows the impact of the crash which smashed into the tree. The front portion of the tempo was sucked into the tree and I could imagine the state of the driver and his helper. Timely help by the locals made them rescue which took 1.5 hours. I wish a speedy recovery to both.

    This type of accidents can be reduced by keeping the vehicle under good condition and also maintain balance in mind by the driver

    Another driver "loses control" of the vehicle.

    Another vehicle has a mind of its own!

    The driver here is under 30.

    Both the driver and his co-traveller are "grievously injured" - and, if they remain alive, will be bedridden for a very long time to come.

    My advice to people:

    Do not get into a vehicle driven by someone under 30 years of age. Your chance of getting "grievously injured" are extremely high.

    One more accident I feel its due to overspending only and nothing else Unless we take adequate caution against overspending accidents are only going to rise and many innocent lives may be lost in the bargain I feel all public utility vehicles must have a speed governor attached to them
