A four-year-old boy died in an accident while he was on a desert safari with his family in the United Arab Emirates.
Pranav, from Alappuzha in the south Indian state of Kerala, was killed when the four-wheel-drive vehicle he and his family were in overturned in a desert in the Madam area of Sharjah, local press reports said.
The boy was rushed to Dhaid Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival due to head injuries.
Pranav’s father Arun Kumar, a television cameraman, and his brother Ajith Kumar, organised the desert safari for the child and his family who were on a visit from India.
Pranav was travelling with his brother and parents in the vehicle which overturned while the rest of the family were in another vehicle.
“Our car had driven up a dune and overturned on the way down. I think the descent was steeper than the driver expected and he lost control,” Ajith was quoted as saying.
He said the vehicle overturned several times and Pranav was flung out of a side window.
The others sustained minor injuries.
