Bengaluru: Final-year MBBS student killed in tipper lorry accident near RR Medical College
Bengaluru: A 21-year-old final-year MBBS student was killed and her classmate seriously injured after a speeding tipper lorry rammed into their scooter near Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital (RRMCH) on Mysuru Road on Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased has been identified as Krithikaa C S B, a resident of Bengaluru and a student of RRMCH. Her friend, Hansa, who was riding the scooter, is currently undergoing treatment at the same hospital and is said to be out of danger.
According to the Kengeri Traffic Police, the accident occurred around 4:15 pm when the two students were exiting the college gate after classes. As Hansa attempted to enter the main road to head toward Mysuru, a tipper lorry coming from the city side reportedly crashed into their Honda Activa.
"The impact caused the scooter to skid. While the rider, Hansa, fell to the left side of the road, Krithikaa, who was riding pillion, fell to the right. The rear wheels of the lorry ran over her," Deccan Herald quoted Anoop Shetty, DCP as saying.
Passersby and college staff rushed both students to the RRMCH emergency ward, but Krithikaa succumbed to her injuries shortly after.
The Kengeri Traffic Police have registered a case of causing death by negligence (Section 304A of the IPC) and rash driving. The tipper lorry has been seized and the driver is being interrogated.

Late flourish masks CSK’s batting woes on lively Chepauk track, hosts post 158/7
Chennai (PTI): Bowlers calling the shots in a format dominated by big hitters is a rarity, but that script played out at Chepauk on Sunday as Gujarat Titans exploited a lively, bounce-friendly surface to stifle Chennai Super Kings before the hosts managed a late flourish to reach 158 for 7.
On a pitch that offered sharp carry, stroke-making demanded discretion and adaptability. Instead, CSK’s batters often opted for high-risk shots without fully assessing conditions, and paid the price with a flurry of miscued dismissals.
Invited to bat, CSK never quite found rhythm but skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s maiden half-century (74 not out) of the current IPL season lent a semblance of respectability to the total in a season where 200-plus scores have become commonplace.
Gaikwad's knock came off 60 balls with six fours and four sixes after a laboured start.
The tone was set early by GT pacer Mohammed Siraj, who extracted steep bounce and forced errors.
Sanju Samson (11) began watchfully, negotiating the first over before opening up against Kagiso Rabada to bring up his 5000 IPL runs milestone. However, Rabada’s bounce soon accounted for him as a hard slash outside off resulted in a faint edge that Jos Buttler pouched safely.
The dismissal triggered a collapse. Urvil Patel (4) fell in the same Rabada over attempting an ambitious pull, while Sarfaraz Khan (0) succumbed to Siraj’s extra lift, mistiming a short ball to offer a simple catch.
At 28 for 3 inside the Powerplay, CSK were already in trouble.
Gaikwad and Dewald Brevis (2) needed to rebuild, but the latter’s impatience against spinner Manav Suthar led to his downfall, holing out after failing to get to the pitch of the ball.
The mounting wickets forced Gaikwad into a shell — an approach that, while understandable, further stalled the momentum. His reluctance to improvise allowed dot balls to pile up, with CSK reaching 50 only in the 12th over.
The skipper eventually broke free, taking on Arshad Khan and Jason Holder with a couple of towering sixes, but the acceleration came too late.
Shivam Dube, dropped thrice on 6, 11 and 22, struggled for fluency before Arshad cleaned him up.
Kartik Sharma (15) and Jamie Overton (18) provided late impetus with a few lusty hits, but the damage had already been done.
On a pitch that rewarded discipline and smart shot selection, Titans' bowlers executed their plans to perfection, while CSK’s batters failed to read the conditions in time, a lapse that ultimately defined the innings.
