Udupi, Aug 16: Three persons were injured in a road accident that took place near Ashirwad Film Theatre opposite a petrol bunk on Thursday August 16.

The injured have been identified as Rajab (45), his mother Aisamma, and his 5-year-old daughter (all seated on the front). Rajab who was driving the car suffered serious injuries.

The accident occurred when a speeding 407 tempo carrying wooden logs and plying from Kundapur to Udupi tried to overtake the Bolero and crashed into it.

The family who were in the Bolero were travelling from Udupi to Kundapur.

Another 6-year-old girl who was sitting behind escaped unhurt.

The tempo toppled over the Bolero car, completely smashing its front portion. The young girl who was sitting on Isam's lap was thrown out and was stuck in the bonnet of the Bolero between the two vehicles. Luckily, she suffered minor injuries and was rescued by the locals.

The two young girls (aged 5 and 6) have been identified as Ayesha and Anisha.

Traffic was affected for about an hour because of the accident.

Udupi traffic police have registered a case.

    I pray for speedy recovery to our dear Rajab Bhai & rest in his family who are victims of this tragic accident not of their cause. Timely investigation & prosecution should take place against these drivers who indulge in illegal activities and put innocent in major risk while in transition. Heartily felt very sad about this perticulr incident, recantly returned to KSA, i recall me with my family recent visit Rajab Bhai's residence for a ifthaar party.
    May God reward him speedy recovery and health life long..amen

    From looking at the pictures it seems to be a very bad accident caused by speeding and overtaking of the tempo at the wrong time. Thank the Almighty God there were no fatalities and I wish a speedy recovery to the injured at this time of RAMADAN. The police should investigate the matter and arrest the driver. As usual traffic comes to a standstill when there is an accident.
