A 20-year-old man was killed and four others injured after a car moving at a high speed in Karnataka hit a car divider and flipped more than four times before landing sideways.
The accident took place early on Monday on a highway near Kattihosahalli area in the Doddaballapur taluk, police officials said. According to a NDTV report, the force of the hit and the flip was so high that it led to two people flying out of the car and landing on the road.
A purported video of the incident has surfaced on social media. A speeding car approaches and hits the divider, skidding for a few metres before flipping over, rolling on its own, until it stops on its side.
After the third flip, the car reportedly lands on its front half and by the fourth turn, the car entirely rolls onto the tarmac.
Police said the driver of the car, identified has one Mohammad Yunus, succumbed to his injuries during treatment. While four other occupants were injured and undergoing treatment at the hospital.
The vehicle was going from Dharwad towards Vijayapura in the Devanahalli taluk, officials noted.
