One lorry was on way to Bengaluru from Mangaluru and was transporting  coal.

The accident led to a serpentine queue of vehicles on either sides upto Melkar and Kalladka respectively. Later the police and fire service personnel ensured smooth movement of vehicles after spraying water on the road which had turned slippery due to the fuel.
