Bike-Bus Collision: Two-Wheeler Rider Killed in Bus Accident
Mangaluru: Tragedy struck on Sunday, February 11, as a 34-year-old two-wheeler rider lost his life in a collision with a KSRTC bus near Arkula Dwara at Adyar on the national highway.
The victim, identified as Charanraj, a local resident, was entering the highway from an inner road when the bus collided with his vehicle.
Survived by his wife and child, Charanraj had been married for just a year and was the only son of his parents.
The incident sparked anger and frustration among locals, who blocked traffic to protest the lack of safety measures implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Residents expressed grievances over inadequate safety precautions and alleged unscientific work on the highway.

Reports revealed that the accident spot had a barricade intended to control vehicle speed, but it had fallen down after being struck by a vehicle the previous night. This allowed the bus to approach at high speed, resulting in the fatal collision. Shockingly, locals claim that over ten deaths have occurred in similar circumstances following road construction by the NHAI.
This tragic incident comes in the wake of a similar accident last December, where another bike rider lost his life at the same location in a collision with a bus. Despite repeated pleas from residents, local authorities have failed to address their concerns.
