Chandigarh, September 3

Three men were injured when a speeding car banged into a tree at the Sector 19-27-28-7 rotary on Madhya Marg in the wee hours of Saturday.

Eyewitnesses said the BMW driver coming from the Transport light point failed to manoeuvre the turn around the rotary and hit the roadside tree at around 4.45am.

The driver and two other occupants of the car received minor injuries as the airbags minimised the effect, said an eyewitness.

“As the car moved towards the rotary, a loud screeching sound of the tyres was heard that alerted us. Within seconds, it collided with a tree. Police would be able to say whether the occupants were drunk. Their relative soon picked them up. Cops have noted the car details,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
