Mysore/Mysuru: In an early morning ghastly accident, a woman and her son were killed on the spot, while the woman’s husband escaped with minor injuries, when the car they were travelling crashed into a roadside electric pole near Rajarajeshwarinagar along the ring road. The deceased have been identified as Lakshmi (35) and Daivik (12), residents of Kanakadasanagar in Dattagalli.
