Due to this the vehicle lost control and toppled. There were 6 people in the vehicle at the time of accident. Last edited by Hickstead : 25th February 2017 at 21:50. Reason: corrected typos | |

But Tyre burst on a highway, I presume, would be perilous even at moderate speeds like 70-80 kmph too.Not only would this endanger the lives of people in the vehicle, but also of the unsuspecting pedestrians. | |

I'll suggest you show this video to insurance people are take their advice. Did the Commercial vehicle have valid insurance ? If not, he's in serious trouble. Also ask for estimate for damages from the showroom. Present the bill to the CV owner and see if he's willing pay anything. If you can get him to pay you some money, he will not only accept his mistake but also work to not repeat the same in future. | |

You have good temper, sticking to the business side of the accident. A cool head on the shoulders is what most people lack. | |

If you want to get the bill settled against the third party insurance from the other vehicle's insurance, FIR is must. You need to go to court and get it settled. Both vehicles will be impounded till the inspection is done and report is submitted o the court. | |

However, on most of our highways truckers and local jeeps stop their vehicles with stones preventing them from rolling and these are left behind once their job is done. They are far more dangerous and can completely offset the balance of the vehicle sending it into opposing lanes or fields, specially at 3 digit speeds. Feel the pain. I used to be a regular in that area, specially the road opposite food world where the width varies constantly due to vehicles parked. Countless dings and scratches on the cars as memories. The CV is probably not from that area, else it will never maintain the left lane on that road. | |

| ![]() An accident in the early hours of Friday claimed the lives of three car-borne students of engineering at Thapar University, while another survived with serious injuries, on Bhadson Road in Patiala. The four, students of BTech at the university, were in another friend’s Swift Dzire car when it crashed into two poles and also rammed a shop wall, scattering bricks on the road, just after the Thursday-Friday midnight. Heard that when the crash happened the cars odometer was stuck at 180 ![]() |

Anyway, according to a research report, there is a very strong correlation between speedo stuck needle reading and actual impact speed. | ||

| ![]() Not that whoever did that is not at fault, but the place looks lit well enough to know there's a trench or at least some work is in progress. The driver is at fault too. |
