Mangalore, Jan 18: Mangalore witnessed thick fog, which has become a rarity in the twin districts, on the morning of Jan 18, Tuesday. The fog remained till 7:45 a.m., forcing vehicles to move with their headlights on.
The fog also caused an accident on Nethravathi Bridge in which a motor bike, a jeep, and a bus were involved. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. A truck hit an electric pole, which disrupted power supply for quite sometime.
Road repair and construction work also created problems for riders and motorists, who were struggling to make their way through the fog. Road rollers and backhoes, which were parked by the road, added to their woes.
