The injured at hospital

As per the details of the case, five youngsters from Ankadakatte had gone to Hosangadi Chandikamba temple in a Ford car on Saturday evening. When they were returning home, there was too much of fog on the hilly road and hence they drove slowly. A Duster car which was behind them hit their Ford car at Hosangadi.
