A bit of carelessness and speed led to this.Was chilling out with my cousin at Kanyakumari one rainy night at 160.Suddenly when the road cut to the right we were taken by surprise seeing a Lorry overtaking into our lane .With very less reaction time I had no choice but to crash into 2 stone posts , one electric post, one electric transformer and finally a brick wall which brought our car into a standstill.We didn't even have our seat belts on that day.But despite that and lots of electric cables around us without power.We survived.Anyways i thought i would have easily lost my leg that day crashing at that speed.Guess it was luck and God's mercy that day for us as we survived with no injuries and did not injure anyone else on the road as well. |

The passenger compartment is still mostly intact.Even the dash is in its place. The engine bay was the worst hit. |

I saw a badly mangled KPN Volvo bus just near the exit to Dharmapuri on the Dharmapuri-BLR Highway. Saw this last night at around 10.30pm. Was driving towards Bangalore. The Volvo was on the left side of the road. Guess it was coming from Bangalore, lost control at the intersection, jumped the median and crashed. Seems like a truck was also involved. It was turned turtle. Did not stop to check and enquire. Anyone saw or heard anything about this? Hope there are no casualities but looking at the wreck, i fear there might be! |

Well myself and maggie were on our way back from Vagamon and was stranded there for an hour so between 7-8 pm. Here is what transpired, the Volvo(twin axle) which was heading towards madurai went straight into a truck. The truck laden with plywood coming in from the intersection(right side). . |
