Vehicles travelling from Udupi had stopped at the Katapadi Junction due to traffic. A Swift car, losing control, rear-ended a Nissan and an EcoSport that were stationary ahead. The impact pushed the two cars forward, hitting the police personnel managing the traffic.
Ram Nayak, a cop deployed at the Katapadi Outpost, was injured in the collision and was taken to the hospital by locals. Four passengers in the cars—Sushanth, Vishnu, Ashika, and Harshi—suffered minor injuries and escaped serious harm. All injured were transported to Udupi Hospital for treatment.
