Kerala: Fish vendor dies after boar crosses road
A 45-year-old fish vendor from Naravoor, Kerala, lost his life in the early hours of Monday (February 16) when his autorickshaw overturned after a wild boar suddenly crossed the road at Kathirur 3rd Mile.
He was returning home after procuring fish from the Thalassery market when the accident happened.
Police are investigating the case
Bystanders rushed him to the hospital, but he sadly didn't make it. Police are investigating and have registered a case, and further proceedings are underway.
This isn't an isolated incident—Kerala has seen a spike in wild boar attacks lately, including a recent fatality in Kollam and other injuries.
In Kollam, the forest department has begun inspecting affected areas, and the state is offering support to victims' families while working on ways to prevent more accidents like this.
