Bengaluru, Jul 12: Five men were killed on the spot when the car in which they were travelling collided head-on with a lorry on Kanakapura main road, near Kanakapura in Ramanagaram district, on Tuesday evening.

The identity of another victim is yet to be established, the police said. All the five bodies have been shifted to Kanakapura government hospital. The police initially suspected that there could be a child inside the car as there was a cradle. But, later they confirmed that there was neither a baby nor a woman in the car.

According to the police, the accident occurred around 7.30 pm on National Highway 209 at Huchchammanadoddi near Thoppuganahalli petrol bunk. The car was heading towards Bengaluru. It came beneath lorry and was crushed due to the impact.

The bodies of the victims had to be extricated using metal cutters. The police used cranes to lift the lorry to remove the car that was stuck beneath it. “There was blood everywhere in the mangled car and as it was dark, we could not get any mobile phones or other clues to identify the victims. We are also clueless about where they were coming from. But it looks like the car was headed towards Bengaluru,” a senior police officer said.

The lorry driver suffered a fracture in his leg and an ambulance rushed him to a nearby hospital. Vehicular movement on the Kanakapura main road was disrupted for an hour and the police diverted the traffic. The Kanakapura traffic police have registered a case and are investigating.
