Mangaluru, Feb 23: State health minister, U T Khadar, was returning to the city after taking part in a programme at Montepadavu, Manjanady here, when the car in which he was travelling hurtled down about 30 feet deep gorge. The accident occurred at around 12.45 am on Monday February 23 at Kalkatta here.
The minister had a miraculous escape, as he came out unscathed in this accident. His driver, Mohan, suffered minor injury to his forehead. Khadar's personal assistant, Libzath, who was also in the car, is safe.
The car however, was badly damaged. Khadar, it may be recalled, has been involved with various instances of rescuing road accident victims and personally taking interest in their treatment. One such incident had happened on Sunday morning.
