Thrissur: A massive manhunt has been launched by the police to nab the driver of an MUV which hit a boy and sped away from the accident site. The boy who sustained grievous injuries in hands, legs and head is reportedly now out of danger.
The accident took place at Viyyur bridge near Daya Hospital a couple of days ago. A Toyota Innova Cyrsta which went out of control hit the boy’s bicycle from behind. It then banged against a signboard before coming to a halt.
Despite a hospital located just a shout away, the van driver just didn't bother to hear the screams of the boy after he was hit by the vehicle.
As evidence, the cops just have a single piece of evidence to trace the driver and that is a portion of the bumper which came off due to the impact of the accident.
The visuals of the driver coming out of the 7-seater vehicle and having a look at the injured boy, got captured on the CCTV cameras installed nearby. However, after seeing that the injuries were of serious nature he rushed back to the van and fled from the place.
He didn't make an attempt to save the child's life though a hospital was just 300 meters away.
Meanwhile, the police have intensified the search operation after getting the information that the vehicle involved in the accident was an ash colour Innova.
The police is carrying out a search and examining the footage of CCTV cameras installed at the toll plaza and the border check posts.
The Multi Utility Vehicle sped towards Wadakkanchery after the incident.
