Mangaluru, Dec 18 2018: A youth sustained serious injuries when a Kerala bound lorry all of a sudden fell over him just as the traffic cops signalled the vehicle to stop at Thokkottu on December 18, Tuesday. The locals who were agitated over the incident took the police to task and blamed them for the mishap and even blocked the road.
It is said as per the instructions of the cops, the driver of the lorry veered the vehicle towards the roadside in order to halt. However, in the process the tyres of the lorry moved on the concrete slabs of the side drain which eventually broke and the vehicle fell on the youth who was passing that way.
