The vehicle reportedly lost control while being reversed after dropping off a passenger at a house where a funeral was being held
A 62-year-old man, identified as K. Rajan, passed away after an off-road vehicle crashed into his house in Kozhikode on Sunday morning. The incident took place around 7:45 a.m. at Kavumvattam near Koyilandy, where the vehicle was being reversed after dropping off a passenger at a funeral. Rajan, who was present in the courtyard at the time, suffered serious injuries when the vehicle veered off control and collided with the house.
He was rushed to the Koyilandy taluk hospital and subsequently transferred to the Government Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode for specialized treatment. Despite medical intervention, Rajan succumbed to his injuries. Another individual who was present at the house during the funeral, as well as the driver of the off-road vehicle, also sustained injuries during the accident.
Fortunately, several people in the courtyard managed to escape unharmed by quickly moving away when the vehicle lost control. The accident resulted in damage to a portion of the house wall.
