: Four members of a farmer's family were killed and two seriously injured when the car they were travelling in fell off a 30 foot bridge near Kolathur, police said.
They said the family were on their way back home here last evening after visiting the M M Hills at Kollegal in Karnataka and the Kodumdi temple at Coimbatore when the mishap occurred.
