Puttur, May 9: A labourer was killed after allegedly coming under a road roller during road construction work near Gandhi Park in Uppinangady on Friday.

According to sources, service road work was under way as part of the ongoing four-lane national highway project in the area. During the work, the victim was reportedly lying by the roadside when the road roller ran over him.

The impact of the accident was so severe that the worker died on the spot and the body was badly crushed.

Preliminary reports suggest that the deceased was a migrant labourer from North India. His identity and further details are yet to be confirmed.

Police are expected to conduct further investigation into the incident.
