Shivakumar, a driver who was accompanied by his son, was delivering pressure cookers manufactured from an industrial estate to a shop at Huliyaru, following his employer’s instructions.
He suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest close to his destination and eventually lost the control to the vehicle. His 10-year-old son, who did not understand what was happening, showed quick thinking and steered the vehicle to safety.
Crying inconsolably, the boy realised that his father had passed away. A student of 5th class at a government primary school, Puneerth was on his summer vacation.
Huliyaru police sub-inspector Lakshmikanth informed that as it was a natural death, the body will be released soon. He appreciated the boy’s presence of mind.
