    The following may be the reasons for this accident
    1. The sudden change of front vehicle/two wheeler.
    2. The Driver may be on mobile.
    3. Long vehicle some body might be trying to overtake.

    We should thank God that there were no casualties in this bus accident. Luckily the KSRTC bus on the way to Hubballi from Mangalore hit the side poles of the bridge at Udyavar did not fall off the bridge. The worst could have happened.

    KSRTC is known for its quality drivers and safety. The issue is only with its maintenance. Afterall all busses are installed with speed governers of 65kmph. Something must have gone wrong with the equipment. I always use KSRTC busses for its incredible safety record.

    In our country there is a strange attitude ! whenever accidents happens you can get within no time there are hundreds of viewers surrounded and make the scenario more worst ! If you think this crowd is helpful you are wrong ! they are onlookers like TV serials ! What is NEXT ! even the victim dies and pleading for water no its not their duty that they are not remembering ONE INDIA or ONDE MATHARAM !!!

    Karnataka Sarige buses are known for rash driving in regular traffic conditions itself. Now that roads are pretty empty, they are flying instead of driving. Hope the driver and passengers recover.

    Psychological pressure much to each and everybody how to survive in the society. Cannot able to mingle with others as like earlier. Not all shops hotels open where in have food according to available money. More pressure from family members to be careful with disease. Cannot even able to sit at home..wants to run family. Everything wants to restart from the beginning. By which occurance of accidents may raise. Gap of driving after long is of main cause. More of KSRTC buses are up above 45. God bless all.

    Due to timely intervention of bus driver with his experience he saved life of people who are travelling in bus...with some injuries. Should enquire what cause the accident. Sometime two wheeler riders are confusing the most..by doing cross cutting to overtake.
