What a harrowing drive!
When I was there on the road from Bandipur to Dumauli we encountered three horrific car / bus / truck crashes about every 45 km. Fellow drivers just throw a blue tarp or old carpet over the bodies, and wait for Emergency Services to respond to the accident in a simple pickup truck.
About every 20 km, you could see crumpled burned wreckage of public buses below that went over road cliff edge.
We have it Soooo Good here.
Remember the prayer Lord, keep bus on road.
