The accident occurred when he was proceeding to Mysore to attend a function.
The driver of the pilot vehicle in the motorcade applied brakes suddenly on noticing a road hump and this led to collision between the minister’s car and two more following it.
However, no one was hurt. Gowda later proceeded to Mysore in the vehicle of Deputy Chairman of State Planning Board D H Shankaramurthy, who was on his way.
