Udupi, Aug 16: In a head-on collision between a bus and a container truck, two drivers were injured in an accident that took place on the Padubidri-Karkala State Highway near Santurukopla.
The bus, traveling from Padubidri towards Karkala, lost control near the Subramanya Temple at Santurukopla and collided head-on with a container truck that was coming from the opposite direction.
Although the bus was carrying a significant number of passengers, only a few sustained minor injuries. Due to the impact, the bus veered off the road, and the front sections of both the bus and the container truck were completely wrecked.
Padubidri police arrived at the scene to investigate the incident.

Sat, Aug 17 2024Abolish the private bus mafia in the twin districts of DK and Udupi and see the difference on the roads. Most important is the safety of the passengers, the private bus mafia just do not care for the safety of the passengers. Their main motive is collection of money. Once Government buses are introduced, women will be happy.

Fri, Aug 16 2024What " lost control" these killers are never in control....drive like maniacs and endanger everyone on the roads...stop bus mafia, introduce speed limiters and punish offenders strictly for rash driving. Common people should raise their voice and not simply sit in the bus and watch while these killers rampage on the roads.
