Bantwal: Auto rickshaw rolls over killing 3-day-old infant
Bantwal: In an unfortunate accident, an auto-rickshaw flipped over after the driver lost control over the vehicle resulting in the death of a 3-days-old infant. The driver and the two female passengers escaped with minor injuries in the accident that occurred at the turn near Kalpane at Benjanapadavu in the taluk.
Reportedly, one of the passengers named Umaira, a native of Gurupura - Kaikamba, had given birth to a baby girl three days ago at Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangaluru. On Wednesday evening, after being discharged from the hospital, Umaira and her family member had hitched a ride in a vacant ambulance that was going towards BC Road and had gotten off at BC Road- Kaikamba. From there, the pair got into an auto-rickshaw belonging to a resident of Goodinabali and proceeded to travel to their home.
The driver of the auto-rickshaw is said to have lost control near the Kalpane circle at Benjanapadavu causing the vehicle to roll over. Tragically, the infant which was resting on her mother’s lap was thrown out of the vehicle during the accident, resulting in the newborn's death.
The locals revealed that the two women passengers in the rickshaw sustained minor injuries and were admitted to a private hospital in BC road. Umaira, who is the mother of four boys, had given birth to a fifth child, which was a girl.
