Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi
Udupi, Nov 29: A driver of a lorry and its cleaner had a miraculous escape after the lorry turned turtle on NH 66 near Tekal Thota at Katapady here on Thursday November 29.
A lorry transporting rice from Kalasa to Mangalore turned turtle after its driver lost control.
The rice bags which were in lorry were thrown off due to the impact of the accident. Rice was scattered all over the road.
Luckily, both the driver and the cleaner escaped unhurt.
It is said that incomplete road widening work on the national highway at Katapady led to accident. As no divider has been installed near the turning at Tekal Thota, accidents have become a common occurence at this spot, said the locals, urging the authorities to take appropriate measures at the earliest.
Kaup police have registered a case.
