The deceased have been identified as Jaibunnisa (45) and her son Suhail (22). The Innova was plying from Udupi to Uchila, and KSRTC Volvo from Mangalore to Manipal. Anwar Uchila, Rafiq Paniyar, Abdul Saheb who were in the car sustained injuries. All are residents of Amina Sapha Manzil.
 
Suhail was an engineering student in Manipal. He was a bright student and had been recently honoured for his academic performance by Bearys' Cultural Forum in UAE.

Following the accident, furious locals pelted stones on two KSRTC Volvo buses and the police had to work hard to calm down the mob.
 
The NH 17 widening works are going on and as a result the edges of the road on both sides are steep. The locals complained that the road has been dug up on both sides and left in that state by the apathetic authorities, leading to mishaps.
