Mangaluru: In an incident on Friday afternoon from BC Road in the city, two riders sustained critical injured after being hit by a car being driven on the wrong lane near Talapady.
The injured riders have identified as Midlaj, a resident of Vitla and a student at the MIFS institution, while the pillon rider who had also sustained injuries was not identified initially.
Both were reportedly students of a Fire and Safety course at the MIFS institution in Adyar. The accident occurred while they were returning home to Vitla from Adyar on their motorcycle after finishing their classes. A car, reportedly traveling at high speed on the wrong side of the road at Talapady, crashed into them.
The collision caused a traffic jam on the national highway. Bantwal Traffic Police visited the scene and have taken further action.
Locals have alleged that such accidents frequently occur when vehicles use the service road at Talapady to avoid the Brahmara Kootlu toll plaza.
