    I think the driver must have fallen asleep other wise he could see the trailer. Any way this is not a case of rash driving like the private buses. KSRTC is govt so the driver will not rush to catch passenger's.

    Firstly I would like to say that this is not a oil tanker but a oil vessel for MRPL loaded on a trailer so stop calling it a tanker, secondly if it was any private bus then everyone would have showered their messages saying that
    It a case of negligient driving
    Cancel the driving licence of the driver
    The owner will have the same driver employed and the driver will be on the route the very next day
    so on and so forth, but i'm surprized to see no comments today even from the reporter too, guys i'm not in a way supporting the private bus drivers but just wanted to say the an accident is an accident and it can happen to anyone wether private bus or KSRTC bus drivers and moreover I feel it is a case of tiredness, may be the driver had fallen asleep so he has hit the vessel trailer from behind, the speed of the trailer may not be more than 20kmph and they get permission to drive only in the night as the traffic jams will arise during the day due to the slow moving of the trailer.
