Mangaluru, May 16: A young Indian expatriate worker and his mother were killed on the spot while a few others including his father and wife suffered injuries in a ghastly road mishap occurred in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The incident took place on Sunday on Al-Qassim road when the family hailing from Montepadavu village in Mangaluru taluk was returning to Jubail city in a car after visiting holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to perform Umrah.
The deceased have been identified as Abbas (29) and his mother Khatheejamma (50). Mainaz (20) and Mohammed (60), the wife and father of Abbas respectively also suffered injuries.
Abbas, who had been working for a construction company in Jubail in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, had invited his wife and parents to the Kingdom nearly 15 days ago.
Last week, the four members of Abbas' family and another four members of a Kerala based expatriate family from Jubail went for Umrah in a Toyota Fortuner car.
While returning from the pilgrimage, the driver lost control over the car nad accidentally rammed into a road median at around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The intensity of the crash was such that the car was reduced into a bundle of metals killing two people on the spot. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital by those who witnessed the tragedy.
The Kerala based family including the driver and his wife also sustained major injuries in the crash. A 4-month-old baby is said to be in a critical condition.
It is learnt that Abbas and Mainaz had entered into wedlock only a few months ago. Mainaz hailed from Mulki Kannagar village.
On hearing the news, Karnataka health minister and local MLA UT Khader visited the house of the bereaved family at Montepadavu and consoled the aggrieved members.
