As per the police, the car was coming from Kundapura to Udupi. Upon reaching Chandika Durga Parameshwari Temple, the driver tried to reverse the vehicle to enter the temple premises. 

At the same time, a truck with a Mangaluru registration, transporting fish from Goa to Kerala, collided with the reversing vehicle.
