Mangaluru, Aug 7: In an apparent drunk driving case, a speeding car rammed into an auto-rickshaw parked at the auto-rickshaw stand in front of KMC Hospital near Dr Ambedkar Circle in the heart of the city late last night.
At least four auto drivers who were waiting for customers suffered injuries in the mishap. One among them breathed his last at a hospital. The auto-rickshaw was almost reduced into a bundle of metals while the car was also damaged.
It is learnt the black Ritz car bearing registration number KA 20, P 1812 coming from Bunts Hostel Road, crossed the Balmatta Road at a high speed and entered the auto-rickshaw stand.
The other auto-rickshaw drivers managed to catch the driver of the car who was under the influence of alcohol. Another occupant of the car managed to escape. Liquor bottles were also found inside the car.
A case has been registered at Mangaluru East Police Station and investigations are on.
