Bantwal, July 8, 2014: Traffic near the B.C. Road fly-over at Bantwal was disrupted for some time on July 7, Monday after a speeding car crashed against a lorry from the rear in its bid to overtake the vehicle.
The lorry was heading towards BC Road from Mangalore and the car too was heading on the same direction. But the lorry driver who was unaware of the collision had moved ahead to the fury of the car driver who intercepted the lorry and reportedly slapped the driver.
Soon a crowd gathered and took the car driver to the task. The Bantwal town police who arrived took both the drivers to the station. The stranded car and lorry were later shifted by the public to allow vehicular traffic.
