![]() It seems there was a pillion too, who also died in the accident. Even the Bolero guys are said to be critically injured, most likely they were not wearing seat belts. I have driven through the area (where the accident occurred) many times over the last few years. The roads are being widened in that area (2 lane to 4 lane), so the tarmac is pretty good, but there are no proper markings on the road & only one lane is open at a time. In short, this area is not a place to be speeding, even in the early hours of morning. Judging from the location where this accident occurred, it seems like an overtaking maneuver gone wrong.

I still wonder if you can afford a car by paying a million rupee, what will it take to spend few rupees for toll ![]() I think the toll employee shouldn't have risked his life when everything is captured on a CCTV. Cheers! | |

| ![]() They usually throw a road block in front of the vehicle for such scenarios. You can see one kept between the two lanes. Wonder why he didn't, instead risked his life. Hope he's okay though. Last edited by McLaren Roxx : 7th April 2018 at 01:50. |

| ![]() Got this through mail. No details. Overtaking gone wrong??? Judging the condition of the Truck, it looks like the Truck was stationary. The vehicle must have tried over take at high speed and could not notice the standing truck on the opposite side Could not make out which vehicle it is. ![]() ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Close relatives of a friend of mine met with this accident two days back at Bidadi, on Bangalore - Mysore highway. The car was was brushed by a truck from the rear and it jumped the median, toppled and rolled over to opposite lane. Fortunately the passengers sustained only minor injuries. Also, they were extremely lucky that there were no oncoming vehicles crashing onto them. The front air bags did not deploy. (Probably because there was no frontal impact) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As if the mental trauma of being involved in this unfortunate incident was not enough, they had to further deal with the hassles to get the FIR registered and obtain RTO clearance for insurance purposes. My friend narrated the experience of spending many unpleasant hours at the police station in completing the legal formalities. Of course, not everything is followed as per the books, but is it that we have to pay the police (an undefined amount) to get these formalities done?
