Mangaluru, Nov 18: In an accident which occurred at Kolya on national highway 66 within the limits of Ullal police station on Friday November 18 morning, four persons were injured after a tanker carrying petroleum products hit a city bus.

The bus plying from Kumpala to the city was taking a turn towards the city near Kolya when a tanker coming from the direction of the city with petrol and moving towards Kerala dashed against the bus. In this accident, four persons,identified as Dhanalaxmi, Shobha and Deepika from Kumpala, and bus driver, Krishnappa, suffered injuries. 

As the tanker hit the bus at the portion earmarked for women passengers, women passengers and the driver seated ahead of their seats were injured. Other passengers escaped unhurt.

About a month back, a car had hit a bus that was bound for the city from Kumpala at this particular spot. In that accident several persons were injured. Warning signs and barricades have been placed at this spot on the national highway, but the recklessness of drivers who continue to move at high speed, has been causing accidents here regularly. Many locals have urged the officials to take suitable legal steps to avert such accidents from happening frequently.

    Before Modi there was no accident. Modi is responsible.

    These drivers act like piolts of supersonic jet fighters. Should introduce a small instrument in all heavy vehicles and make it compulsory to find out speed they crossed especially in junctions. Let them pay heavy penalty and confisticate driving licence for fifteen days. Otherwise these people never listen or nor present government.

    Article says "but the recklessness of drivers who continue to move at high speed, has been causing accidents here regularly". It's known fact. Simply blaming other vehicles... The busses in these routes are like hell. Drivers drive so recklessly. I am wondering why the subject is "Petrol tanker hits bus" ? Is it just to prove the mistake is by tanker. come on... bus must have entered the road just like that.. as they always enter. threatening the vehicles coming from other direction. Any ways... unnecessary public is suffering. No idea when we will be rescued from these private busses.
