In Haveri, Karnataka, a tragic incident occurred on Friday where a tempo traveller collided into a parked truck on the Bengaluru-Pune National Highway, resulting in the death of 13 people. Among the deceased were eight women and two children, aged four and six years old. The accident took place near Gundenahalli Cross, sending shock and grief throughout the community.

It was reported that four other individuals were severely injured and are currently receiving medical treatment at the hospital. According to the police, the deceased were from Emmehatti village in Shivamogga district, and had gone on a trip to visit various temples in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
One of the victims, Adarsh, had recently purchased the tempo traveller and had invited his family, relatives, and friends to join him on a special trip to celebrate the new vehicle. They had visited Tiwari Lakshmi Temple, Tulja Bhavani Temple, and the famous Renuka Yellamma Temple in Saundatti Yellamma, Belagavi district. The group was on their way back home when the tragic accident occurred.
The initial investigation suggests that the driver may have been unable to see the parked truck due to the thick mist, causing the collision. The police also suspect that the driver may have fallen asleep while driving. Haveri SP Anshu Kumar informed that there were more than 15 individuals in the tempo traveller at the time of the accident, and that they were all returning to their hometown when the tragedy struck.
The bodies of the deceased have been shifted to the Haveri District Hospital mortuary, and the accident falls under the jurisdiction of Byadagi police station. The entire community is in mourning for the loss of these precious lives, and the authorities are urging everyone to drive carefully and stay vigilant on the roads to avoid such tragedies in the future.
