I offer condolences to his family members. These days a trend in the city of Mangalore, is that large cranes, and trucks with heavy material moving , especially during the rush hours, when schools start or office hours just begin. I shiver when I pass them. They do not have cleaners or conductors. And drivers have no scruples often they over speed. Traffic police in their large Ertiga or Innova either busy in mobile phones or catching innocent two wheeler riders. There is chaos on the roads during peak hours. Nobody seems to bother. The above kind of accidents will continue to happen.
