Magadi: In a gruesome accident, two died and one was seriously injured as a car turned turtle after hitting the road divider and on the National Highway 75 near Kuduluru Cross here on May 25.

The deceased have been identified as car driver Zaheer (56) and Rathnamma (65). Rangaswamy, husband of Rathnamma, also sustained serious injuries and has been admitted to a hospital for treatment.

According to eyewitnesses, the Tata Manza car was moving from Kudur towards Bengaluru at very high speed at 3.30 PM on Friday. The driver lost control of the car, hit the divider and tumbled four times before coming to a halt. The impact of the accident was so fierce that Zaheer and Rathnamma were thrown out of the vehicle and died on the spot.

The heavy rains that lashed the district just after the accident took place, delayed rescue operations and the traffic was stalled for a couple of hours on the National Highway.

The bodies have been kept in the mortuary at the Nelamangala Government Hospital. Kudur Police have registered a case in this regard.
