Mr. Althaf,

Firstly a precious life has been lost, it is a matter of great grief and sorrow that a human life and animals have died. May the Almiighty give strength to the deceased family in this unrepairable loss.

Secondly never redicule anyone's religious sentiments, Everyone's religion and faith is lovable to them. It is not the teaching of Quran and our beloved Prophet to redicule anyone's belief's. Your comment shows that you are very ignorant of Islamic thoughts. Please educate yourself.

Gow matha couldn't save herself then how can people worship cows as god? No sense...

Mangaluru, Feb 8: A speeding car fell off the newly-inaugurated Pumpwell flyover in the city after jumping the median and ramming into an oncoming car today.

At least four persons have suffered injuries in the mishap involving a Maruti Alto and a Renault Duster. The condition of two is said to be extremely critical. The other two have suffered minor injuries.

The accident took place when the driver of the speeding Alto which was heading towards Kasaragod from Udupi lost control over his vehicle.

Towards the end of the flyover, car rammed into the divider and then hit the ill-fated Renault Duster which was coming from the opposite direction. The Alto then fell off the bridge.

The accident caused traffic jam on the highway for some time. The flyover was inaugurated a week ago, after a decade long wait.
