Moodbidri/ Mangalore, Oct 11: A man who was returning to Moodbidri after buying grocery and other items for his housewarming ceremony met with an accident and died on the spot on Monday October 10.
 
Henry Serrao (35), son of John Serao, a resident of Hosabettu is the deceased.

Henry's wife stays abroad. The housewarming ceremony of his newly-built house in Masti Katte near here was scheduled to take place on Monday. When he reached near the government hospital here, his Activa was hit by a tipper plying from the opposite direction.

The tipper has been seized and its driver Shantharaj rounded up by the police.
 
There are allegations that there has been an increase in the number of tippers plying on this route in the locality. Tippers are overloaded and the local tahashildar also had warned their drivers. Despite this, many tipper drivers continue to load their vehicles with excess crushed stones, which in turn affects the quality of roads. Locals have sought immediate action on this discrepancy.
