Kundapur, Apr 27: A 9-year-old girl died in Beejadi when a car hit the swing hanging from a tree in the courtyard of a house in a bizarre accident.

The victim has been identified as Pradhanya of Shettibettu household on the Neerswale Road in Beejadi village.

During her summer vacation, Pradhanya was playing on a swing that was hung to a tree at home with other children in their courtyard. Her relative Santhosh had parked his car in the courtyard.

As soon as he started his vehicle, he lost control of the vehicle and collided with the swing resulting in a fall on her back. Her head was seriously injured due to the collision. Pradhanya was rushed to a private hospital in Koteshwara where she was declared dead by the doctors.

Kundapur police have registered a case.

    Some errors inside car engine or controls. Otherwise never a vehicle gain speed all of a sudden. Any driver after starting the engine he release hand brake and he looks around and back is it safe to move. Or he didn't notice the swing or he was in a hurry. Whatever it may be parents please don't leave your children in attended. Be it anywhere. Once if anything happens you yourself will be the losers How many sleepless nights you spend to bring up this child. Only mother knows the pain.

    Whoever issued a Drivers Licence to this car driver. You cannot lose control of a stationary car when it is Just started as one has to release the hand brake, and Even if it is parked in the first gear as most Kannada’s do For reasons unknown, the car won’t start when it is in gear. It is not a freak accident, it’s purely a gross negligence and This man must be tried under the same law as man slaughter. God bless this little angels soul

    Rahul, Mangalore; First of all, our deepest sympathies to the bereaved members of this girl's family. The driver should be punished under man slaughter. Any vehicle, before it starts, the driver's first duty to check, whether the vehicle is in neutral gear and the hand break is properly done. Then only, the vehicle driver can start the vehicle.
