    Looks like the driver of the vehicle was speeding and lost control. We see many such maniac drivers today in Mangalore.

    Also look at the house which in the first picture. Can someone throw some light to whom it belongs to? Very nice house and well maintained - does it belong to any Businessman?

    if you need proof that big shots can get away with anything including direct contempt of supreme court then take a look at the car. It has heavily tinted glasses !!!

    yes u r right. i have seen many government cars with dark tint. they are not questioned. when we drive the car with light tint. cops stop the car and start speaking Police language. i wonder it is going to be almost 9 months after supreme court had put a ban on tinted glasses for motor vehicles. why only we have to remove the tinted glasses. why not government officials remove the tinted glass & the rich brats of this country. in Mangalore if u have observed so many cars from Kerala with dark tint and bright lights at night . why are they not inspected. police officials are not bothered to stop them. they will stand in some shop or in shade and chill out. why don't they sit in a place that is given to them. in nanthoor specially. they create traffic jams. finally those bus conductors have to make traffic police duty. thanks to bus conductors u come to our rescue when there is a traffic jam.

    UK MUST BE HEADING TOWARDS UK VERY URGENTLY. HE MUST BE IN MIND THAT HE IS TRAVELLING IN PLANE AND THEN THERE IS NO QUESTION OF DEVIDER BUT IT WAS JUST PLANE LIKE INNOVA.
    SO ONE THING IS CLEAR NOW THAT WE FEEL NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INNOVA CAR AND AEROPLANE AS FAR AS INJURY IS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE IS OK NOW AFTER GETTING INTO DEVIDER.

    This road from KPT to Airport is newly made except a strech near to the airport. Surprised to see that the vehicle has moved from left to right and is in the middle. May be persons driving was on mobile or sleeping. Else difficult to understand such an accident on a one way double lane road

    IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT DRIVER WAS SPEEDING BEYOND HIS NORMAL COMPREHENSION.
    WHY UMANATH?
    POLITICAL ANGELS HAVE AN UNCHALLENGED PRIVILEGE TO ARRIVE LATE.
    THIS IS TRUE WITH EMERGENCY PATIENTS WAITING FOR HIS DREADED (?) CAR TO ARRIVE.
    GOD ALONE CAN SAVE THE POOR SOULS WHO COME IN THEIR WAY ON THE CIVILIAN ROADS.
    AFTER ALL FEW LIVES ARE OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN OUR GREAT POLITY.

    Supreme Court allowed certain category of VIPs to have tinted glass for safety and security reasons.Now,Mr Kotian belongs to that level might be a question mark?Somebody from the public may go to court(PIL)about this car and indeed this could be a embarrassment to govt if the chairman of TULU academy not categorized as such.It is a shame and point of reckoning that govt orders were not followed by those are working with Govt as utive!!!!

    Did anyone ever seen a slow moving Innova in Mangalore street. One Innova is gone and good for Mangaloreans. These cars are always in hurry and specially on Airport Road. Kerala Registration cars are reckless show offs. Must be Gulf money.

    Owing to the nature of this accident and keeping in mind the accidents of this nature, I assume that the planning is not considered while constructing such roads with dividers. It takes acute swerving as such for the vehicles to climb on to the divider leading to such accidents. I hope the relevant authorities will look into the intricacies of such matter and nature of accidents
