Hate to inform you of yet another horrific accident on the bombay-Pune Expressway on the 9th near Khopoli.

My team member returning from Nagar after a funeral with his father, had a tyre burst and his i10 turtled 3 times before falling 15 feet down. The father died last night after severe head injuries. The friend is in Jupiter in a very serious state due to severe lower spinal cord crushing damage. Docs have said that the best possible case would be that he will be able to turn himself hip above but below the hip, no control or sensitivity. Will lead a paraplegic life. To add to the misery of the family, his wife of 3 years is expecting his first child in 1 month!

Guys, please drive safe. Even with seatbelts, safety is important.

No Krish, I do not believe in any such good or bad timings ; got a call from the dealer (Pratham Motors , ORR, Blr) previous that car is ready to hadover. Went there following day and picked it up.

OT: I don't know if the following experince has occurred to you too. This is my first car, I do not have any previous experince in car ownership or driving. Salesman from Pratham motors, ORR, Blr was very well behaved during the test drive, negotiation and waiting period of 3 months. On the day of car delivery, I was told from the dealer that my designated sale-sperson and most of his coleagues are on a promotional drive in another part of the city. So there was no body in the showroom to show me eatures of the car. Paperwork was done in 20 minutes in the finance dept. and I was handed over the car to drive home. All in all, process completed in 30 minutes. Is this how the system works? Should I have waited for another day when sales person was available and receive instructions about the car?

A friend saw this accident at Mekhri circle in Bangalore. Apparently, the driver was drunk and overspeeding and the car was new and was running without a number plate. The Cruze hit a divider, a pole and finally crashed into an Indica. The driver of the Indica was injured. The car is in such a pitiable condition! :Shockked:

As I was about to park and get out, she ran. I couldn't get picture, I only took down number which also not clear. I want to register a complain on hit and run. But I could not as I don't have full details of car (like which make). I searched Vahan, BTP (BITS SMS didn't reply also), just to get which make the car was. Can friends/BHP let me know get the details. This is silver color Accent or Esteem... She left gash marks on my right back door and wheel arch.
