Chitradurga, Nov 25: In a tragic incident, six people, including a family of five who were on their way to attend a marriage, were killed on the spot when their multi-utility vehicle (MUV) collided with a Scorpio at Metikurke in the taluk on Saturday.

    It was a terrifying and deadly accident where two cars collided killing five from one family and one driver in the other vehicle. We exactly do not know the exact cause of the accident. May the souls of all the deceased RIP and wish a speedy recovery of those injured in this accident,

    Dear vehicle users, kindly keep the following information in mind:
    Tires with low air pressure tend to flex and cause tremendous stresses on the sidewall. This is the primary cause for tire bursts.
    Always maintain tire pressure to the standard limit.
    Tires can withstand much more pressure than the standard value. So for longer trips you are safer with additional 3-5 psi.
    Tubeless tires are less prone to tire bursts as compared to tube-type tires. It's recommended to get them replaced.
    Lastly never overspeed. No matter how professional driver you are, it's impossible to control a vehicle after a tire burst.
