Mulky, June 4: Three people died on the spot and two severely injured following a ghastly road accident involving a car and a tipper near Karnadu Bypass under Mulky police station limits on Monday.
The accident took place at about 2:25 am in front of the Maruti showroom near Karnadu Bypass.
Three men and one lady were reportedly traveling to Manipal in their car, Maruti Suzuki Swift Desire, bearing registration number KL 58 B 8500. After having passed the Karnadu Bypass, when the car approached Maruti showroom, it banged into a tipper belonging to Navayug Constructions that was coming in from the opposite side.
Due to the impact, the lady was thrown out of the vehicle, falling on the road, dying on the spot. Two others who were seated inside the car, too died on the spot following injuries to their heads. Two more people who were seated in the rear seat of the car have sustained severe injuries and have been admitted to a private hospital in Mukka.
The deceased are said to be from Kerala and reportedly belonged to the same family. Kerala and Manipal Hospital cards were found in the car and hence it is being suspected that one of them was being taken to Manipal for treatment.
Four laning work of road is in progress at the spot where the accident took place. A temporary diversion has been given on the spot for the same reason. The driver may not have taken note of the diversion during the time of accident as it had rained too, it is being said.
The dead bodies have been sent to the mortuary of the government hospital by Mulky police. Identification of the deceased is being carried out.
