Toddler among 3 killed after car hits bike in Kerala, ‘drunk’ driver absconding

A toddler was among three people killed when a car struck their motorcycle in Kerala's Thrissur district, according to police. The fatalities were identified as Muneer (35), his wife Safna (25), and their three-year-old son Yamil Aibak, who were from Edakkazhiyur in Chavakkad. The accident occurred around midnight on Saturday on the Guruvayur-Kunnamkulam road, which the family had traveled on after attending a wedding.

The family had stopped on the roadside to take a call when the car collided with the motorcycle. The impact was so severe that the victims were thrown nearly 50 meters away and sustained critical injuries before succumbing to their wounds in nearby private hospitals. A car driver was reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, and the vehicle along with the two passengers inside have been taken into custody, while the driver is at large.
