Mangaluru, Oct 20: In a tragic incident on Sunday evening, October 20, a young woman lost her life after a tipper truck collided with her scooter near Shanti Kiran, close to Nanthoor Circle.

The deceased has been identified as Christy Crasta (27), a resident of Kodikal. She was the daughter of Cyril and Sandra Crasta of Vailankanni Ward, Kodikal. Christy was riding her scooter from Nanthoor Circle towards Pumpwell when a fish-laden container truck, coming from behind, crashed into her vehicle. Due to the driver's recklessness and overspeeding, the truck hit Christy's scooter, and she was tragically caught under the rear wheels, dying on the spot.

Christy's wedding was scheduled for November 23. She was a teacher by profession.

The funeral rites of Christy Crasta will be held on Monday October 21 at St Dominic Church, Ashoknagar (3:30 pm - Prayers at Home, 3:45 - 4:00 pm - Public Viewing, 4:00 pm - Holy Eucharistic Celebration followed by burial at Urwa church cemetery).

    Redesign Nanthoor Circle Before More Lives Are Lost Nanthoor Circle in Mangalore has tragically become a regular spot for accidents, owing to its flawed design. With roads from four directions converging at a single point and no traffic signal in place, the area has become a death trap for unsuspecting motorists. The steep landscape, coupled with reckless speeding, only exacerbates the situation, causing vehicles to lose control. Over the years, this dangerous junction has claimed numerous lives, and the situation continues to worsen with alarming frequency. It is deeply concerning that despite the clear risk to public safety, no significant action has been taken. How many more accidents, injuries, and deaths will it take for the concerned authorities to act? It is high time that the local administration addresses this issue urgently. Implementing traffic signals or a roundabout isn’t enough—there must be a complete redesign of Nanthoor Circle to prioritize safety. The cost of inaction is simply too high. Lives are at stake. We need solutions now.

    “Father, many lives have been lost there, and no one attempts to fix this junction. Governments come and go, but everyone thinks only of themselves, and innocent lives continue to be lost. Truck, trailer, and lorry drivers drive recklessly, without any regard for the smaller two-wheeler drivers. Therefore, two-wheeler drivers should be cautious and drive carefully, and avoid this junction as much as possible by taking other routes. But the one who gives life, God, knows more than all of us. The lack of action and the loss of lives is truly heart-wrenching. "

    OK, nobody can assure life as well as death. But is it acceptable if your obituary reads "Due to the driver's recklessness and over speeding, the truck hit Christy's scooter, and she was tragically caught under the rear wheels, dying on the spot.". And by the way, it is not happening once, first time or the last time. Distribution of DL to every sundry who can vote and can potentially vote and that being the only criteria is the reason. Try reconciling with this end if you are parent, sibling or if married as spouse.

    What a tragedy..very very sad and dissappointed to hear this news.It will be very difficult time for the entire family,my heart reaches out to them. I am sure the Fish tttruck would be an out state vehicle who ignore the traffic chaos that occur at Nanthoor junction especially when we have major highway development works.Tge Police needs to immediately action these outstation vehicles with regret i must say that every vehicle from Kerala especially students and Fish vehicles are very rash in their driving.This happen day in and day out.Of recently a spurt of KL vehicles are seen on the road. If you drove in Kasaragod area, you can actually see how recklessly and shamelessly they drive on the roads.I am NOT being prejudiced about Keralites at all.Please do not take ot personal ,but i request the Traffic police to immediately impound the licence of these drivers especially these KL registered vehicles.

    "Nanthoor Junction has become a major death trap; no one comes forward to fix this accident spot, which is very sad. It is deeply painful to see such a beautiful young girl pass away at such a tender age. But what can we do? We all have to bow before God's will. May God give peace to her soul and strength to her family to bear the loss, that is our prayer.”
