Mangaluru, Nov 11: Four persons were injured and hospitalized after a driver lost control over his car near Navabharat Circle in the city at around 4.20 pm on Monday November 11. One of the injured was a pedestrian.
The circle is usually busy with vehicles and people. The car which came at considerable speed, began to move erratically, and gave jitters to the people present. Luckily, no death or critical injuries resulted from the incident. The CCTV footage of the incident has become viral in social websites.
The injured happen to be Akram Pasha (28) from Hassan, Anil (18) from Uttar Pradesh, Aravind (21) from Hebri and Dayanand Shetty (45), resident of Kambalabettu, Bantwal.
Aravind was driving the car when it began to move wayward and hit a pedestrian, Akram Pasha, near the petrol bunk in the circle. The car then hit Anil, who runs a roadside Panipuri stall before hitting a car belonging to Dayanand Shetty that had been stopped there. The car also hit the compound wall of the petrol bunk and damaged it. Dayanand Shetty, who was sitting inside the parked car, was injured.
The nature of injuries suffered by Anil and Akram Pasha are of serious nature. Both the cars suffered damages. If the car had entered the petrol bunk straight, the consequences would have been catastrophic.
It is said that Aravind, who was driving the car, suffered from epileptic seizure at that time, which caused the accident. Medical tests are yet to be conducted to confirm this information.
The car Aravind was driving also had its owner, his brother and two girls inside, but none of them were injured. The family had come to the city to buy clothes from Hebri. A case in this connection was registered by the traffic (west) police personnel.
