Hosur Road - Road to perdition !!

Daily morning as i get into my car to goto office, A sense of nihilistic feelings sets in. Just to think of Hosur road spoils the day. I am travelling in this road from just 3 months but i am already reaching a saturation point. The traffic is too heavy all throughout theday and it is always a bumber to bumper ride. The traffic management is pathetic and to make matters even worse, The roads have got narrower due to the elevated highway project which is underway. Each and every vehicle which travels on this road daily has a Dents or scratches on it but it the pedestrians and Two wheelers who are always at peril. Its too dangerous to cross road or travel on 2 wheelers on that road. I almost see an accident daily !!! this is actually driving me crazy.This week i have witnessed 2 accidents . 1 ) involving 2 software engineers who were travelling on a bikebanged into a car , they were just ahead of me. They hit the car and fell below a lorry but thankfully Lorry guy applied brakes and they narrowly missed the lorry tyres !!. But they were wriggling on road like a fish which has been taken out of water. They were totally covered in blood .I stopped my car to help them but a traffic police came and asked not to stop. Immediately within 10 mins an Ambulance arrived and took them to hospital. I was praying that nothing should happen to them , Hopefully they are still alive . 2 ) This Accident i saw yesterday , An old man around the age of 65-70 was attempting to cross the road just then a BMTC bus came and hit him. I think he died on the spot. I could see blood flowing on the road. I was greatly distressed to see this. The poor old man was just not fast enough to run across the road. All throughout the night i was not able to sleep, The images of that old man lying in a pool of blood kept on coming. By simply applying brakes, The bus driver could have saved that old man's life.I wonder where humans are heading to ? . In a mad rush for money people have left everything behind. humanity has taken a backseat and hosur road is the best example for that. Truly , HOSUR ROAD is a road to HELL !!
