RTO report says speeding, negligence caused Vadakkenchery accident

The Regional Transport Officer (RTO), Enforcement, who investigated the recent accident at Anjumoorthy Mangalam, Vadakkanchery, has found that speeding and negligence caused the ghastly crash that claimed nine lives.

The RTO submitted his inquiry report to the Transport Commissioner on Saturday, and said that the tourist bus could not control itself as the KSRTC bus reduced its speed. The report also said that the electronic speed controlling unit of the tourist bus had not been working.

The RTO report further has given a clean chit to the KSRTC bus driver. An inquiry conducted by the District Transport Officer too had found no issue with the KSRTC bus driver.
