Mangaluru, Jul 31: A speeding car hit an electric transformer at Golidadi in Kadandale near Moodbidri on Sunday, July 31 evening and the four occupants of the car had a miraculous escape.

The i 10 car coming from Sachirepete towards Moodbidri with high speed crossed the trench besides the road and then hit the electric transformer. Transformer and car both have been severely damaged. The four passengers in the car sustained only minor injuries.

Mescom officer from Belman Pradeep Kumar and Dakshina Kannada panchayat member Sucharitha Shetty visited the spot and inspected.

Gunapal, a temporary worker of Mescom, came to the place and switched off the electric connection immediately though he is yet to be made permanent worker. This was appreciated by the locals. Another Mescom staff Praveen D’Souza helped in clearing the transformer from the road so that vehicular movement could resume.

    This is purely a case of rash and reckless driving. It is providential that the lives of the occupants of the car are saved.

    Proper investigations will reveal the actual cause of the accident.

    This accident is due to over speeding and careless driving by the driver. Is he going to pay for the damage of the transformer or the insurance company will pay?. In many countries driver has to pay for the transformer.. Just for knocking lamp post,driver has to pay about rs.2 lakhs.

    if a small car could cause such a big damage what could have been the impact if a lorry had hit the transformer poles?
