Kasargod, May 6: A couple was killed and three others sustained serious injuries in a collision between a car and truck on the national highway at Kanhangad here on Saturday May 6.

The deceased have been identified as Sanjeevan (45) and his wife Reena (42) of Iritty in Kannur. Sanjeevan was driving the car.

Vijeth (44), Vanaja (40), Reena (42) and Sarang (12) were grievously injured and shifted to a hospital in Mangaluru, where Reena passed away sometime later.

The five were returning by car after a visit to Kollur Mookambika Temple when their car collided head-on with a truck that was transporting fish.

The car was completely smashed in the accident. The occupants were trapped inside and fire service personnel who arrived at the spot along with locals brought them out and shifted them to hospital, but Sanjeevan could not be saved.

Hosadurg police have registered a case.

    This is most unfortunate that this could happen to this family after returning from a visit from Kollur Mookambika Temple. One couple dead and three are fighting for their lives. The car was completely smashed due to the head-on collision with a truck. RIP. I wish a speedy recovery to the injured. Sympathies to the bereaved families and loved ones.

    1. All the low end cars should have the required safety instruments like the front and rear hot rod bumpers to avoid the collision damage the entire car

    2. All the vehicles should have Air- Bag facility, no matter a low end car- Safety 1st

    3. The trucks should have speed limits (which can be controlled by Radar)

    4. Strict rules should be followed upon the license tests and only eligible candidates should be given the license.

    RIP to the deceased!

    All of us are in so much hurry to get somewhere that we forget that 5 minutes gained from over speeding can cost one and others their lives. Also nowadays our hands and eyes are overloaded with androids.

    Is five minutes = life?
