Mangalore, Mar 17: The car that was involved in an accident at Ladyhill on Monday March 17 was driven by a minor, police sources said.

It had been earlier said that the Maruti Ritz car that rammed into an electric pole reportedly belonged to a former state minister, but the police did not confirm the same.

The Maruti Ritz car, with registeration number KA 14 1222, was being driven by Anoop (17), son of Mohan Kumar. He was driving without a licence.

The car went out of control and drove on to the footpath before smashing into the electric pole.

The front portion of the car was completely damaged, and the electric pole was dislocated.

Luckily, no injuries were reported.

Including Anoop, there were three or four other persons in the car. All of them escaped from the spot soon after the accident.

Police sources said that Anoop and his father were fined and no case was registered. Mohan Kumar agreed to pay for the damage caused, police said.

    This accident happened while driving U turn near lady hill, While father ping his son's friends to their home after the studies. After the accident, his son (17year old) attempted to drive his father's car back and was in the driver seat! Failed, but outside people felt that boy was driving the car.

    No. The father of the boy is a very learned man, a professor in one of the very prestigious institutions in Surathkal. What lessons can students learn from a man who allows his son to drive without license. I wonder how the police left him Scot free.

    Why no case was registered, is he a godfather, put all of them behind the bars. See the minor does not get license for life time. People around to keep a watch and see that he does not get licence. Just imagine if a life was lost instead of pole what a disaster it would have been, so punishment should be given, no money please.

    RCC Pole is not supposed to give-up like this. Check the supplier/vendor credential.

    Thank HIM, lucky escape for both car occupants and pedestrians!!

    As the occupants vanished after the collision in all probability, the occupants were under the influence of "Somrasa" on the colorful occasion of Holi!!!

    In a lighter vein, on the occasion of Holi:

    "Daru Ki Khushbu, Beer Ki Mithas
    Ganje Ki Roti, Charas Ka Saag
    Bhaang Ke Pakode, Afeem Ka Pyaar
    Mubarak Ho Aapko Holi Ka Tyohaar!"

    Height of " Rash Driving " or are we checking if MESCOM Poles are genuine or not? or also to check if foot path is strong enough coz checking on materials used by local Contractors..!
    Fun aside, Thank God, no injuries to anyone inside the vehicle.
    Let us learn to go slow / steady on roads to avoid such incidents and accidents.

    A few meters further on, the occupants of the car could have gone swimming as well.

    Prabhumaam,

    In US they mix up to 10-15% Ethanol(Alcohol) to Petrol depending upon crude prices....

    In Brazil and South America instead of Petrol they use Ethanol(Alcohol) only....Whisky is about 36% alcohol...may be this car was running with 99% alcohol...hence was high...

    ...JH...
