    It's very sad such an accident has occurred. I was in a similar situation on the same route about a year back. Fortunately, I was traveling in Vishal 9400 Volvo which was equipped with auto-brakes and engine retarder. The driver admitted that he wouldn't have been able to stop the bus in time if it weren't for the auto brakes.
    If, with additional cost, similar safety features were implemented in Ashok Leyland and Tata buses, such a serial accident could have been prevented.
