Alappuzha: A tragic road accident claimed the lives of five young MBBS students near Alappuzha, Kerala. The overcrowded car, carrying 11 passengers, skidded and collided with a Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus on Monday night.
According to the Regional Transport Officer (RTO), the primary cause of the accident was the overcrowding of the vehicle. The car, designed to accommodate only seven passengers, was carrying four additional passengers, which likely affected the vehicle's handling and braking capabilities.
Other factors contributing to the accident include the driver's inexperience (he was 18 years old and had only been driving for five months), poor road conditions due to wet weather, and the vehicle's age and lack of proper maintenance. The absence of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) further exacerbated the situation.
The deceased students were first-year MBBS students at TD Medical College in Vandanam. They were returning to their hostel after watching a movie. Six other students were injured in the accident and are currently hospitalized.
