A young couple and their two minor children who were stranded in the late hours on the Kulithalai Bypass Road in Karur district after the scooter in which the family of four was heading to Tiruchi upon information that the woman’s father had expired received timely help from a Traffic Police Inspector and another Good Samaritan who readily volunteered to take them in his car to Tiruchi. The incident occurred in the late hours of June 2 when Ganesh along with his wife Sumathi and their two children were coming from Coimbatore in a scooter to Tiruchi when the rear tyre of the scooter got punctured near Kurapalayam at around 11.15 p.m. Adding to their woes was the sudden downpour. Information about the death of Sumathi’s father who resided at Babu Road in Tiruchi prompted the couple to rush to Tiruchi despite lockdown restrictions.
