    As the people around there narrated the incident, deceased person was on call & stopped near the track till the train passed. Once it's passed, he started to cross, but unfortunate person, couldn't notice another speeding train form the 2nd track, got hit by train. Many were signalling him to stop in between 2 tracks, but because of his engagement with call & trains notice, he couldn't hear! Sad indeed....

    Negligence is the main cause of accidents in Mangalore these days . Many youngsters losing their lives riding high speed , speaking in mobiles, potholes on roads. I wish there were middle east traffic rules enforced in India. Wake up government officials we need good rules and regulations.
