Mangaluru, Nov 13, 2026: Two people were seriously injured after a car rammed into the rear of a lorry at Nanthoor Junction in the city on Thursday night.
The accident occurred around 9.50 pm on November 12 when a Tamil Nadu-registered lorry travelling from Pumpwell allegedly applied sudden brakes after being driven at high speed. A car approaching from behind reportedly lost control and crashed into the rear of the lorry.
The impact left the front portion of the car severely mangled, trapping driver Nizam and co-passenger Mufiz, who sustained critical injuries. Both were immediately shifted to a private hospital in the city for treatment.
The lorry sustained minor damage to its rear right portion in the collision.
