Lorry driver arrested in hit-and-run incident in Keralam’s Kannur
The vehicle and its driver, K. Praveen of Malappuram, were taken into custody by a team led by Pariyaram Inspector K.R. Vinod Kumar.
The Pazhayangadi police have arrested a 35-year-old mini lorry driver, K. Praveen from Malappuram, in connection with a hit-and-run incident that resulted in the fatal injury of a woman in Kannur's Kannur district. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, October 22, when Praveen's lorry allegedly knocked down and killed 52-year-old P.K. Sulochana, who was out for her morning walk.
Praveen was apprehended by a team led by Pariyaram Inspector K.R. Vinod Kumar. The lorry was traveling towards the Mathamangalam area to collect laterite stone when the accident took place. Praveen reportedly stopped the vehicle a short distance away before driving off, though police say he did not immediately report the incident. Sulochana was rushed to the hospital but could not be saved.
The lorry was subsequently located in Chala, Kannur district. No further details about the investigation or potential charges against Praveen have been released.
