Health Minister Bina George was admitted to the Government Medical College in Manjeri, Malappuram on July 31 after sustaining minor injuries in a road accident in the morning.
The minister was on his way to Wayanad, where a landslide occurred, when his car hit a pole at Chettiyangadi in Manjeri around 7.30 am.
The accident reportedly occurred when the vehicle swerved to avoid hitting an oncoming scooter. The scooter riders were also taken to hospital.
A series of landslides occurred in the hilly areas of Wayanad in the early morning hours of July 30 due to heavy rains. The Army, NDRF and other emergency service personnel deployed in Wayanad resumed search operations.
