Bantwal, Sep 7: A tragic car accident claimed the life of a newly married woman, while her husband sustained serious injuries after their car jumped the divider when the driver lost control at Talapady on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru Road on Saturday September 7.
Manasa, the deceased, was the wife of Aneesh Krishna, a resident of Odyadagaya near Perne. Aneesh Krishna, who was seriously injured in the accident, has been admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru.
The couple was traveling from B C Road towards Mangaluru when their Alto car veered to the opposite side of the road after the driver lost control, colliding with a KSRTC bus heading towards B C Road from Mangaluru.
The car was badly mangled due to the impact of the collision, and the woman died on the spot. Traffic on the road was disrupted for some time.
The couple had been married on September 5 at the Denthadka Temple. They were returning to Aneesh’s in-laws' house after visiting the temple to settle dues. Both were reportedly working in a private company in Mangaluru.
Melkar police visited the scene and are investigating the incident further.
