Apart from any technical failure in the Mercedes that Cyrus was travelling in, which only the Mercedes team and RTO can tell us, the real cause of the accident is the National Highway.
This does not even require an inquiry.
An eyewitness who has a mechanic shop near the bridge told reporters that every year at least 5 accidents take place at the spot.
The reason being that the three lane Highway suddenly becomes two lane just before the bridge.
And there are no road signs warning Motorists to slow down.
Now if you are not a regular on the highway you would surely not know.
So the car first hit the flank and then rammed into the side wall of the bridge.
It was not a divider.
Indian Highways are death traps.
Poorly constructed and unfenced.
You can have elephants, cattle, and camels all on the same road. And worse sometimes a vehicle approaching you from the front... headlong.
I have driven on that highway and I had also hired a professional driver who warned me never to drive on the flanks.
He said the car tyres should never ever get onto the flanks.
At high speed it could be the disaster.
