Kadaba, Nov 11: In a tragic incident that occurred on Thursday November 10 evening at Kodimbala on Kadaba-Panja road, a four-year-old boy died as the auto rickshaw in which he was travelling collided with a pick up vehicle.

Hardik (4), son of Naveen, a resident of Panja and owner of a medical shop at Nettana, is the boy who died in the accident. He was a student of Shri Bharathi Shishu Mandir of Saraswati Vidyalaya of Vidyanagar Kadaba.

Though Hardik was given first aid at Kadaba primary health care centre, he succumbed on the way to Puttur for higher treatment.

Hardik used to travel to and fro to school every day by the school bus. However, on Thursday, his mother took him from the Shishu Mandir as she had come to Kadaba for a programme. Both Hardik and his mother were in the auto rickshaw when tragedy struck.

Hardik is survived by father, mother and a toddler sister. Kadaba police have registered a case and are investigating further.
