Kundapur, Dec 23: One died and another critically injured in a ghastly collision between a private bus and a Mahindra pickup truck on NH-66 at Kumbhashi here on Tuesday December 23.

The Mahindra vehicle was moving towards Kundapur while the private Mangalore Express bus was plying towards Udupi from Kundapur.

The deceased has been identified as Manjunath Mallya, a resident of Kundapur. Chandra Poojary of Vandse, who was driving the vehicle was seriously injured in the accident.

Both the injured were taken to a private hospital in Koteshwar, and then shifted to KMC Manipal for advanced treatment. Their condition was said to be critical and Manjunath breathed his last in the hospital.

Eight others who were in the bus sustained minor injuries.

The bus was said to be moving at a high speed, which reportedly caused the accident.

Kundapur traffic police registered a case.

    My brothers driver saw the bus overtaking and moved the van to the side, still the bus came and killed them, indeed express means they have the right to kill, whoever comes in their way, even if they are not in their lane.

    Drivers (and Bus Owners) forgotten the meaning of Express?
    Express means they have the license to kill anybody who comes on their way?
    Need of the hour to ban these all "Express"

    It is sad to see people disagreeing to what is written, about private buses. Be a part of this kind on unnatural death, pain and trauma of the deceased and the rest of the family. Then you will realise what it means.

    To Karnataka Transport Minister, I have lost my dearest brother in this accident. We all in grief cannot accept this loss. I humble request to you i to stop these private buses and start State Transport with rules defined. With new six lane highway coming up, please define rules for driving. Please take this very seriously from a mourning family of Manjunath Mallya.

    The private buses plying between Kundapur/udupi/manglore are agents of death with their speed ready to devour anybody comes on their way. Why the authorities still do not wake up to curb the menance of rash driving by private buses.

    Dear transport Minister, it's a humble request to you that please abandon these Private bus operators and replace all buses with State Transport busses. Thats only will be the remedy for these accidents. It's become very difficult for pedestrians, motorcycle riders and even for the LMV operators to move peasefully on the roads becausE the bus drivers never follow the trafic rules. They are always in a hurry, that's why accidents take place.
