Pathanamthitta: Aranmula LDF candidate Veena George met with an accident on Saturday while campaigning for the upcoming Kerala assembly polls.
The incident happened on Pathanamthitta ring road when a speeding van rammed into Veena's car. Veena and her driver suffered injuries and were admitted to the general hospital.
