    In mangalore, the driving is very rash. Look at the way our buses or any other vehicles drive. It may seem thrilling but it is very dangerous.

    The ultimate truth is there is no value for human life in India. Daily hundreds of people die in road accident in India. Today is she , tomorrow is us. Road commuting means you are risking your life. Nobody deserve this kind of death. Hope everyone follows rules . Everyone care for their and others life. What kind of Highway is this where there no service road, No traffic lights, No lights in the night,no speed limit.

    Very very sad news. But I think that first of all traffic Police must check the driver's license. Because I heard many young boys from north Karnataka have come this side and operating the trucks. Morning time they distributing news papers and milk. Afterward doing this driving job.

    concrete mixers lorry drivers are very rash.... police should ensure they follow traffic rules and check if speed regulators are tampered.

    Very very sad to hear this incident , The reckless driving in twin cities are increasing and specially two wheel riders should take extra care , It is better to learn how to maintain driving from metro cities . May her soul rest in peace.Deep condolences to her dear ones ..

    Very sad...very sad. Small girl loosing life under the wheels, what a pain... This is the result of hiring low wage labours / drivers from North East because they are not fit to drive here in the coastal belt. Most of the locals who lost lives in road accidents in the coastal belt are because of the irresponsible drivers from North or the other neighbouring states.

    Such a beautiful smiling face .. Who should have seen life in full .... Total collapse on all safety measures .. Reckless Driving .. training of drivers of such heavy vehicles .. Not well balanced vehicles because of load .. Many a times targets etc ... Ultimately .. Failure to protect a beautiful child’s life ..

    Kiran d Souza mangalore how you know it was a hired driver from elsewhere?Is it given in news.?Its sad enough for the family or mother to see her girl comes under wheels in front of her and dies.Simply horrible.One side she too is partly responsible to keep her in Pillion .should have taken in front of her.Afterall so many accidents happen ,did the girl wear any helmet?That too should be considered.We pray for her soul to be with angels.feel very bad .May God give enough strenght to bear the pain to her family.Clear properly the case about how the accident happened.driver should be taken to task if he has licence or not or his fault.Even scooties too can drive sideways instead of middle of big vehicles ,specially when they have children as pillion.May be driver couldnt see scooty driver as he is sitting high?and scooty was in the middle?.

    In Ambagilu junction, we are in need of barracade permanently, without anyone constantly removing it because vehicles on the highway have no speed control.

    This is indeed horrible. Trucks should not be allowed to move during the day. In the middle east they have set timings for trucks to go. They are not allowed to go during the day. I feel seperate lanes should atlest be set for trucks and buses. And they should not be allowed to cross a certain speed. These big vehicles need to be slowed down or fined.

    These concrete mixer drivers all in a hurry to fill concrete and reach the site of construction. Book the driver for murder and the concrete mixer owner too for the death of the angel Pranamya. Really sad and may Pranamya's soul rest in peace.
