Udupi: Car, bike, lorry involved in serial accident at Santhekatte junction


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi

Udupi, July 31: A car, bike, and a lorry were involved in a serial accident at the Santhekatte junction on the morning of Thursday, July 31.

A lorry heading towards Kundapur from Santhekatte collided with a car that was waiting on the median to make a U-turn. Due to the impact, the car moved forward and hit a bike, which was also waiting to take a U-turn.

No injuries were reported.

The U-turn junction at Santhekatte has become a danger spot, as several vehicles attempt U-turns at the same narrow stretch. Vehicles coming from both Santhekatte and Kundapur are using this single point, creating a bottleneck. During peak hours, this significantly increases the risk of accidents due to heavy traffic flow.

More details are awaited.

    It has been over 2.5 years, and yet this underpass construction is not yet completed. Even the service road to which they give a temporary makeover gets washed away in heavy rains. There are no staff to handle traffic during morning and evening peak hours. The highway and the service road on both sides are a total mess. People, especially senior citizens staying nearby, have to suffer a lot for local commutes since bus stops are frequently relocated as per their ongoing road construction needs. It is still not clear how many more years this contractor will need to finish this project. The bridge connecting east-west service roads is yet to begin; only the middle road pillar is completed so far.
