A parked bus rolled down a steep ditch due to a fault in the break vaccum. The incident took place at around 2:25 pm in Kannagudda, Saripalla.

Of the five passengers, four jumped out to safety while the fifth passenger, identified as Violet, a resident of Kannagudda, sustained injuries

The bus Naveen Travels, with registration KA 19 B 4778 , fell on the left side of the road, but sources said that in case the bus had fallen to the right side of the ditch, calamities would have been extreme.

The bus plies on a daily route from Mangaladevi to Saripalla.

In another accident, an alto car plying from Jokatte to Arkula toppled near Adyar at around 12 noon.

The car was said to be over the speed limit. Six passengers which included the driver Mansoor, three ladies and two children, escaped with minor injuries and are being treated at the Indiana Hospital.

    Mr. Ravi Ullal, Mangalore, Because our Police or RTO is not strict people take advantage of it and drive fast. I totally agree with Mr. Jossy Saldanha's comment. Its true our Indian Rules and Regulations are not correct so such accidents happens frequently. We will see the difference when we travel to different countries how disciplined their law is. In India no people cares the law and order because the leaders and govt. officers are fully corrupt.

    Using mobile phones while driving vehicles is the main reason behind recent accidents.Last time I saw one car driver who was driving and speaking in his mobile with right hand and left ear and only using 1 left hand for driving.

    RTO's job is to enforce traffic discipline on roads and book erring/speeding drivers rather than sitting in offices, collecting money.....

    This road is fit only for two wheelers and rightfully enough this bus went down (pic no. 2).
    RTO has to decide the types of vehicles permissible on that road, speed limits, validity of the vehicle, authenticity of the driver, sun screens, talking on mobile, drunk driving etc……..
