Mangalore , July 5, 2013: The driver of a car and three other passengers had a close shave when the car almost landed on a drain-thanks to the driver who was holding the steering on one hand and his cell phone on the other hand, busy speaking to someone.
The incident took place near Pumpwell on July 4, Thursday evening, when the driver of a Maruti Ritz was trying to park the vehicle outside a hospital when the car went out of control, veered to the left and move over a drain.
Luckily neither he nor the three other passengers were hurt. Later, the four got the car to safety. Had the car moved even a little further then certainly those in the car would have sustained injuries.
