Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.
The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur.
A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.
The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman.
She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way.
She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment.
It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

Bengaluru, Mar 12: The Karnataka government on Wednesday clarified that no coronavirus "emergency" has been declared in the state and that all the schools and offices will remain open.
Earlier, there were fake reports that Karnataka has declared "coronavirus as an epidemic" in the state.
In a statement, Karnataka health commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey refuted the reports doing rounds on social media which said Karnataka had declared COVID-19 as a "state epidemic".
Refuting the rumours, he added that all the schools, offices and other institutions will continue to function normally in the state.
The Karnataka government earlier today issued temporary regulation which asked all government and private hospitals to have flu corners for screening of suspected cases of COVID-19.
According to the regulation, no person/institution shall use print or electronic media to spread mis-information on COVID-19 without prior permission of the department of health & family welfare. If a person is found indulging in any such activity, they will be punished, it said.
The Karnataka government also started a campaign called 'Namaste over Handshake' that encourages people to greet in the traditional Indian style, to tackle the spread of the virus.
The state has reported four positive cases of coronavirus so far.
India, so far, has 60 confirmed cases of coronavirus, including 16 Italians tourists.

Where were these Pillas when Sri Ravishankar used Army Jawans as his domestic servants for his PRIVATE "ART OF LIVING" marketing function, he even defied Environment & Pollution Board directions, absconded without paying fee and penalties. They should have barked then.
