Volvo B9R

The vehicle was quite new - hardly 2 months old it seems. So the tyres wouldn't have been in bad shape - but can never say. The news media have claimed the tyre of the truck burst and it jumped the median. For some reason, I quite think the driver might have dozed off.

When it jumped off the median tyre might have burst off.
Looking at time of the accident all probability of driver dozing off.

Last week I saw one MG Starz near toll on Nasik -Dhule sector.May be Mumbai-Indore/Bhopal.It looks stunning in the night.

Sorry to know about the accident.
Rest in peace

Though I am sure the reason, my suspect is to run the vehicle post Tyre's life. Or the Lorry Driver would have dozed off and crossed the Median!
What is the fault of the people, traveling in the bus and losing precious life. This has just happened in the split of seconds when they were deep asleep.

Are you sure its converted by Prakash? It doesn't look like a Prakash work. I think this was by Nandi Coach Works, Bangalore.

Looks like the unofficially extended chassis version. Could that be the reason for loss of control? Sharp cuts while overtaking may result in this type of scenario IMO. And what about insurance claims? Will they be honoured if the bus has violated the bodybuilding code?
