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.
