According to some reports, the accident may have caused by a tire burst. However, the inquiry is still underway.
Unfortunately, such accidents on India's roadways are not rare. India reports the world's highest number of traffic accidents. Every year about 4.5 lakh individuals are handicapped globally, resulting in losses of up to 3.14% of GDP.
