    Don't comment on what you doesn't know. My friend Ram who died in car accident call his parents every morning, that's how much he loves his parents, before he left from Canada he told his parents that his phone is under repair and not to call for two days ,just because he wants to surprise them, He loves his family so much. So do not type what ever you feel,stop doing that. we lost a very good friend like a brother to us.

    its the mistake of the lorry, because of it the person got confused and met with an accident, ........ guys its an general tendency whenever mentions and hevy vehicle in an accident all the readers post their comments saying that the driver of the heavy vehicle has to be jailed or his licence has to be cancelled etc., and after keeping posted of any accident the editor itself mentions that the bus or lorry was inn great speed etc., without actually knowing the exact reason for the accident. So b4 commenting know the excat reason, maybe the heavy vehicle is on the right path and the four wheeler is on the wrong path, n moreover friends there are some young blood who want to have the thill and if something goes wrong then they blame the heavy vehicles, as everyone knows heay vehicle is driven for lively hood and smaller vehicles are driven for passion in some cases ...........

    Dr Kusuma Kumari G, Nellore ,
    Hello madam this accident caused due to burst of tyre. By the way the concrete road is a part of this accident. there is a big pit on the side of the road, even i am a residence of Morgan's gate near marnamikatta, i know the area very well. Bad luck of the driver caused this accident.. Few months before a speeding car went off road n fell inside a house on the road side, thankfully no one was killed. Police cant do anything abt this. Even INTERCEPTOR or PCR can't do anything because they will not be knowing were will accident happen na.

    An apt lesson for all parents - keep your kids off booze and car keys and no late nights on their own please... before another similar accident strikes to remind you that you have once again failed in your promises...

    Looking at the blood all around, it seems like at least few occupants were not wearing seatbelts. I can't believe that someone working in Canada (where you have to pay hefty fines for not wearing seatbelts) could do that.

    Even if he did wear seatbelt, the ones who did not, can cause enough damage. When the car topples, the unbuckles passengers will be thrown around with a heavy force onto the poor and helpless buckled-up passengers.

    This is really unbelivable. It should not have happened. This is the lesson to other youngsters who take advantage of empty road. Afterall we cannot change the fate. Let the soul rest in peace.

    sheikh mohammed.. for your information this spot road is atleast 50 feet wide concrete road.. i have seen the spot.. Its looks like the vehicle toppled after it ran off the concrete road while negotiating a turn which is either due to over speed or lack of visibility.check the bumper and headlights ..no damages at all .. it just rolled over and over..

    Though I feel bad about the accident ,look at the stupid people taking photos without helmets .

    And look at the more intelligent people here giving comments.
    Maria says racing - How can you say looking at the vehicle that it was racing !

    Shyam says road rage - Do you understand the meaning of road rage !About casualties being rare,please come out of kasargod and see ...people do die in scorpio accidents
    BA NAINAR says "why" - I say "why not ! " How can you conclude that it was only friends

    Jacobnelson says no safety tests follwed! haha ...how do you know that .The same Scorpio is sold successfully in other countries .

    All these people have just spoken for the heck of it .It is sad that this was an accident which turned fatal .Sad for the parents !

    Looks like this is one more case of seat belts not worn! And looks like a turn taken at high speeds or maybe driver falling asleep.

    They were all cousins travelling in that car and the driver is a very close friend of mine.
    The rear tyre exploded and caused the car to topple (see image).
    Please do not make hypothetical comments based on unproven facts.
    May the lost soul Rest In Peace.

    lancelot n tauro, mangalore - Doha qatar:
    I dont understand why you are blaming TRaffic Rules. If the Driver is not following the traffic rule then its becoz of traffic rule? There are traffic Rules in india. But some people does not folow it and end up in incident like this. Just tell me why the driver of this vehical was in so fast mood whne then road is narrow and that too midnight time? He could have drived in normal speed as 60 KMH is the ideal spead in india. By looking at the impact of accident one can say the vehical was not near 60 KMH speed. Feel like it was more than 100. Its not Doha or Canada to drive like that

    Horrific end to the road rage- thats all i can say. This SUV is taken to be one of the sturdiest ones in India and accident casualities are considered to be rare in this- but even this wont help if the driver decides to rip off in an Indian road. I do not understand as what might have been the urgency of the people - to reach so fast?
    BABAJAN, MANGALORE: Your comments look strange- what do you mean 'got a fresh news'..Is this the first time that you are seeing Daiji publishing news so fast? Daiji is always first in breaking news compared to other media channels.
