Mulky, 04 Jun 2012: Three persons from Kerala were killed on the spot and another injured seriously when the car in which they were traveling in rammed into a tipper at Karnadu Bypass under Mulky police station limits, early on Monday morning.

 

The deceased have been identified as Ahamed, Yusuf and Ayesha, all from Trissur in Kerala. Another occupant of the car, Ahmed, is said to be in a serious condition and has been admitted in a hospital near Mukka.

 

 

Mulky police said rash and negligent driving by the car driver caused the accident. There was a diversion to be taken on that stretch due to some maintenance work on the NH. The driver miscalculated the speed while taking the turn and rammed into the tipper. Not helping matters was the torrential down pour,’’ police said. The occupants of the car were on their way to Manipal hospital, according to the survivor.

 

The front portion of the Swift DZire car was almost under the tipper and the front row passengers, died on the spot due to the impact. The woman, police said, was thrown out of the car and died on impact with the ground.
