VELSAO: A speeding rent-a-car met with an accident near Velsao lake around 6 am on Tuesday, damaging a roadside cross and plunging into a culvert, sparking outrage among locals over reckless tourist driving.
According to sources, the lone occupant—a tourist—escaped with minor injuries. However, police reportedly found a beer bottle inside the vehicle during the recovery operation, raising suspicions that the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol.
In a shocking turn, eyewitnesses claimed that the crane operator brought in to recover the vehicle was seen attempting to dispose of the beer bottle by throwing it into nearby bushes, allegedly to eliminate potential evidence.
The incident has once again triggered concern among Velsao residents, who have been complaining about increasing cases of speeding and negligent driving by tourists. Locals are now demanding stricter enforcement on rent-a-car services and improved safety measures along the vulnerable lake stretch.
