Moodbidri, Dec 5: In a dramatic turn of events on Friday, a massive crane hurtling at high speed lost control, struck a car, and crashed onto a house at Moranthabettu in the Kallamundkur Grama Panchayat limits, leaving the structure badly damaged but fortunately sparing the occupants.

The incident unfolded on the Mulki–Moodbidri State Highway, at a notoriously sharp bend near Moranthabettu. Witnesses reported that the crane driver appeared unable to negotiate the curve, causing the towering machine to veer off course. “It was moving far too fast for that stretch of road. The driver simply couldn’t hold control,” said a local resident who rushed to the spot moments after the crash.
