Udupi, Jul 12: In a ghastly accident that occurred on National Highway-17 at Pangala near here on Sunday July 12 evening, a motor cyclist passed awy after being hit by speeding bus. 

The motor cyclist has been identified Vasant, a resident of Katpady and proprietor of a fancy shop at Kaup here. Vasant was hit by a speeding private express bus Vijayalaxmi plying from Mangalore towards the city here and critically injured.





Though Vasant was taken to a private hospital in the city, he failed to respond to the treatment and succumbed to injuries. The traffic on NH-17 from Katpady–Kaup was blocked for a while and was cleared after the damaged vehicles were lifted from the spot on the arrival of traffic police. 

Kaup police have registered a case.

    HI SHAHNAWAZ, ROOT CAUSE FOR ACCIDENTS ON NH 17 IS NEGLIGENCE OF NHAI UNDER THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. DID YOU TRAVELLED BANGALORE-CHENNAI, NEW DELHI-AGRA, NEWDELHI-JAIPUR OR ANY OTHER HIGHWAYS. ABOVE HIGHWAYS ARE FOURLANE WITH DIVIDER IN BETWEEN & WITH SERVICE ROAD. WHY NOT FOR MANGALORE-UDUPI-KUNDAPURA.

    This stretch between Kaup to katapadi has already claimed thousands of lives . There is a strong need to make th NH17 four lane. I hope a decision will be taken reagrding this very soon and more lives can be saved in d future.

    Very very unfortunate and sad incident. May Lord rest the soul in peace and give enough courage and patience to the bereaved family. These reports and accidents are common for quite some time now. The traffic department must start an orientation and educational programmes for all highway and road users. There must be dos and donts and public and private both print and e media should render their support for this programmes. Law should be changed and there should be a minimum jail term with penalty for the erring drivers and good blood money provisions for the victims family. With these stringent measures, I hope intensity of accidents would curtail and roads and highways would become a safe place to use.
