Bengaluru (PTI): A college student died on Monday after being allegedly hit from behind by a tipper truck near Budigere Cross here, police said.
The accident occurred at around 8 am when Dhanushree (22), a final-year B Com student, was riding her two-wheeler from Byappanahalli to her college in K R Puram.
Preliminary investigations suggest she may have lost control after abruptly changing direction to avoid potholes on the road, causing her to fall into the path of the tipper truck.
Police are examining CCTV footage to determine the exact sequence and cause of the accident.
A senior police officer said, “The student was on her two-wheeler when it was allegedly hit from behind by a tipper truck, leading to her death on the spot. The accident took place on a section of the road in relatively good condition, though potholes were present nearby on the opposite side.”
The truck driver fled the scene, and police are working to trace him.
“We are scanning CCTV footage to verify whether she lost control while avoiding a pothole and was subsequently hit by the tipper truck. A case has been registered, and investigations are ongoing,” the officer added.

Gross GST collections rise 6.2 pc to over Rs 1.93 lakh cr in January
New Delhi (PTI): Gross GST collections rose 6.2 per cent to over Rs 1.93 lakh crore in January, mainly on higher revenues from imports, sources said on Sunday.
Total refunds declined 3.1 per cent to Rs 22,665 crore.
Net Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenues, however, grew 7.6 per cent to about Rs 1.71 lakh crore in January.
Cess collection (from tobacco products) in January stood at Rs 5,768 crore. This compares to Rs 13,009 crore in collections in January last year when a cess was levied on luxury, sin and demerit goods such as cars, and tobacco products.
Effective September 22, 2025, GST rates on about 375 items were slashed, making goods cheaper. Also, a compensation cess is levied only on tobacco and related products, as opposed to luxury, sin and demerit goods earlier. The lowering of GST rates has impacted revenue collections.
Gross tax collections from domestic transactions grew 4.8 per cent to Rs 1.41 lakh crore, while import revenues were up 10.1 per cent to Rs 52,253 crore in January.
