The locals said that reckless driving by the car driver caused the accident. In the night most of the youth drive at a high speed which leads to accidents. The police should take stern action against those who violate the law and put the life of innocent people at risk. An autorickshaw, motorbike, and a signboard have been totally damaged in the incident.

One of the residents of the area Rajesh said, “Six months ago a similar incident took place. A Bolero had crashed into four electric poles on the same road. During the night we see vehicles running at a high speed which poses a danger to the pedestrians and other road users. The concerned authorities should install speed breakers on this road to avoid such incidents. This is the second incident in six months. Those who drive vehicles in the night especially youngsters, they do not care about others. Today these two innocent men who were standing outside to go to their room after finishing their work in the fast food outlet. The occupants of the car were lucky to have suffered only minor injuries because of the airbags. If this would have happened in the day time, many people, especially school children would have injured. This is the right time for the concerned authorities to get into action and put a stop to reckless driving in the city”.

Kadri police have reached the spot and are investigating.

  1. Time and time again i have writen about reckless driving in this area and also reckless driving in 2 wheelers in triples

  2. Any one observed in this news. The drivers name is not mentioned. It may be drink and drive case or may be driving without license. By this time the FIR might have been edited with with substitute valid licence holder.

  3. No names of the driver or occupants of the car mentioned in the report. All indications of hushing up of the matter. Great work by Police and media people for cooperating with the rash driver.

  4. Joker Pinto,
    Report doesn’t give details of driver. But the victims are clearly sanaathana dharma.

    • “But the victims are clearly SD”. – Joker Rampuji

      Lol.. NOW, it is down to SD, eh? Not bad for a Joker who claims to be an atheist! Are SD followers exempted from being mowed down by some drunk/otherwise idiots. Lol.

      Good joke ya Rampa. 🙂

  5. Joker Pinto, report doesn’t give details…”

    Joker Rampu,

    Joker Praveena isn’t CNN/Bakra Dutta/Garnab Arswami/Raajadeepa Saardesai/Surathi/Hingaaru Male/BBC to cover stuff and nonsense!
