This is my theory of how it could have happened. Would love to hear your thoughts about the same. |

Just one question though, was there any gap in the side rails before the spot where the parts have fallen? |

How did it happen? The pictures in the link you sent show the whole dashboard crushed into front seats. |

I'm not aware but we have received sudden rains since last night and the accident happened early morning. The roads on that highway have just been laid with a fresh coat of tar few weeks back. Smooth roads always encourages people to drive fast and considering it was early morning and traffic would be less, adds to the possibility of over speeding. And you would obviously know how risky driving on wet roads on such speeds would be. This is purely a high speed head on collision IMO. |

tragic nevertheless. I'm thinking don't want to get into this sort of stuff because somebody else on the road decides to have some fun. Does anybody know of any good links/videos on defensive driving (especially in the Indian context)? |

I was just curious because it looked like there is a gap, not clearly visible in the photo. I have tried zooming into your photo. Look at point 1, the gap might be there but I am not at all sure about it. |

Also what's those vehicle marked at 2 & 3, looks a little unfamiliar. |

Looks like there's a gap there, so could be probable that the vehicle hit there too. |

The NH17 between Udipi-Mangalore-Kasagod has always been a very dangerous and accident prone stretch.Bus drivers and reckless bikers are the usual culprits. |

That would have been scary :eek: From the pic it looks like damage shouldn't run into 5 figures though you might want to get the front suspension assembly also checked as a precaution. Hopefully the other guy learnt a lesson. PS: On closer inspection, alloy looks bent. Did he by any chance pay for any part of the damage? |

Sorry to know @ that iWonder. Front right side of your car seems to have taken the brunt for no fault of yours. I hope there is no damage to the tyre. Have you got the damage fixed? Please let us know the details |
