Bantwal, Nov 15: A horrific accident at the Brahmashree Narayana Guru Circle on the Mangaluru–Bengaluru National Highway in BC Road early Saturday morning claimed the lives of three people and left six others seriously injured.

The deceased have been identified as Ravi (64), Nanjamma (75) and Ramya (23), all residents of Bengaluru.

Those injured have been identified as Sushila, Keerthi Kumar, Kiran, Bindu, Prashanth and the driver, Subrahmanya. All of them have been admitted to the hospital in critical condition.

The accident occurred at around 5 am when an Innova car (registration number KA 02 AE 6146), travelling from Bengaluru towards Udupi, lost control and crashed into the Narayana Guru Circle. The impact of the collision was so severe that the vehicle was completely mangled.

A total of nine relatives were travelling in the car at the time of the accident.

A case has been registered at the Bantwal Traffic police station, and further investigation is underway.

    The National Highway at BC Road has been developed in a completely unscientific manner. Despite being a major junction, the flyover serves only one direction, causing severe congestion and inconvenience for commuters. The overall planning feels outdated—almost as if BC Road is still stuck in the 1980s.

    Super highway and speeding vehicles looks beautiful from the onlookers point of view. Driver’s fault- tiredness, workload or time based schedules.- learn to say - NO Having involved in transportation businesses and carrying on the legacy (third generation) Safety first- Noes can save lives.

    Useless circle in the middle of the road in the National Highway. This was tend to happen. Poorly planned circle in the middle of the road just some cast appeasement. When will the people wake up and make the MP/MLA's to make the real development in city.

    Sign of sleep deprivation which impairs a driver's judgment, alertness, and reaction time in a way that is similar to driving under the influence of alcohol

    Poor victims of our ill-planned roads. That flyover should have been made 2-way and extended to cross that circle when constructed. Lack of farsightedness 😞

    Very tragic end of lives. The root cause of all these accidents is irresponsible driving behaviour on our roads. The way these Bengaluru registered vehicles are driven on our roads is like entire road is only meant for them. Nothing is going to change and we are a over populated country and don't value human life.
