Prime Minister's brother meets with an accident

Yesterday, the Prime Minister's brother Prahlad Modi escaped a major mishap after his car crashed into a road divider near Mysuru in Karnataka on Tuesday afternoon.

Visuals from the spot showed severe damage to the front of the sports utility vehicle (SUV).

However, Prahlad Modi's grandson suffered a fracture in his leg while others were admitted to Mysuru's JSS Hospital with minor injuries.

“The child has suffered a fracture. No one has suffered life-threatening injuries. Everyone's out of danger,” Dr Madhu, JSS medical superintendent, told the media.

Mr Modi, accompanied by his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson, was travelling to Bandipura in a Mercedes-Benz SUV when it hit a divider around 2pm. The police said the car was well within the prescribed speed limits.
