    Sad to hear this tragic.May their souls rest in peace.One side having own vehicle is a positve thing.Otherside using it like here for long travel can also without much thinking long drive might turn hell.Most probably had driven long to reach home early and then take rest must have heated the engine,and exploded when his to the walls of toilet.Best is please drive not so fast and reach your aim safely than high speed and fast but never reach.May thier souls find peace in heaven.

    I have no words to express my grief.He was my assistant in BDMC & was in touch with me all the time though he left a decade back & settled in Bangalore.He was very jolly,obidient & sincere person & also had no bad habits.I really lost a good colleague.One mistake or negligence cost his life & entire fly as well.Let their soul rest in eternal peace..He was a complete family man & very particular about his every movement.But how this horrific incident took place ???. After all it is fate.. what else I should say..He left this word so early along with the entire family.I can't imagine...

    Recently I have hired a vehicle from Mangalore to Hassan village. I told the driver, every 2 hours, you should to take 15 minutes rest, before starting vehicle after the rest drink hot tea and speed should not be more than 60 kms. He has agreed my conditions and the journey was good.

    Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved members of the family. May their souls rest in peace.

    I know him, he was ex Regional Manager for Royal Enfield Apparels. He was a wonderful person in nature. My deep condolences!
    We don't exactly what has happened to comment like this. Of, course agree with Speed or Rash Driving, Without Sleep are some of the reasons. Let's not comment.
    May whole Family's Soul Rest in Peace.
    I have lost good friend of mine.
    RIP

    Friends...I dont know exact reason of this accident but I knew the deceased...he was a very good person and a great entertainer it's a big loss to all of us of ex-BDMC Family.
    Even though it could have been his mistake only who cost dearly to his entire family. Speed and ignorance are the major cause of such incidents so better drive steady and keep vehicle under control,life is precious.

    RIP VIVEK & FAMILY.

    it was not a fault of the vehicle. it seems to be dousing while driving.never ever sleep while you drive. rest some time for 15 -20 minutes refresh yourself and proceed.

    So true,

    why was in such a hurry and speeding is vehicle off limit... innocent kids also lost life because of this... when a man drives off limit fast, atleast people seated inside should warn the man to drive slowly.... i dont understand why such speed.. even in case of emergency one should think that over speeding may lead to many more emergency cases
