Local traffic police records show that many such crashes occur at night or on poorly lit curves, though this incident happened during daytime. Neither the driver of the stationary Tata Ace nor the owner of the vehicle has been named as an accused yet, pending investigation. Kukunur police will now examine whether the parked vehicle was left without hazard lights or warning triangles, which is required under Motor Vehicles Rules. The next step is a site inspection and the filing of a closure or chargesheet within the 90-day limit. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Straight factual report, no slant beyond the lead focus on three deaths.
