BENGALURU: A 44-year-old man sustained serious injuries and seven others had a miraculous escape after two cars they were travelling in towards Mysuru fell into the under-construction median duct near Sheshagirihalli, Bidadi, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, early Sunday morning.
The incident took place at 6.30am. An Omni van driven by Jaleel hit an i20, leading to the accident. Jaleel was shifted to a nearby hospital and the i20 driver, who is yet to be identified, escaped with minor injuries. Bengaluru-Mysuru highway widening works are under way.
Locals say negligent driving and ignorance about deviations are leading to accidents in the area.
