    There was a road hump earlier at this junction. The removal of road hump might be the reason for accident.

    Competition to collect more passengers and over speeding. No value for human safety/life. Only buisness counts.

    One can make out the impact of the accident, in what speed both vehicles were travelling. If our RTO very is strict, such accidents can be avoided. But, unfortunately our RTO is strict after the accident.
