THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a painful incident, one student lost his life after being tragically hit by a stone that came rolling from a tipper lorry moving towards Vizhinjam. Ananthu, a native of Mukkola is the deceased. He was a fourth-year BDS student at Nims College.

Ananthu who was standing on the roadside near the Vizhinjam port area might have never thought about the tragedy that was coming his way. A tipper lorry ferrying stones to the port area passed near the road where the youngster was standing. While moving the uneven roads in the area, some stones from the lorry jumped out from the lorry and landed on the youngster resulting in the tragic incident.

The lorry was heading towards the port for construction work. More details about the incident are awaited.
