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.

Accused gunman at correspondents' dinner was believed to be targeting top officials, Blanche says
Washington (AP): The accused gunman who tried to storm the ballroom at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner with guns and knives travelled across the country before the event and is believed to have been targeting members of the Trump administration, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday.
Blanche also said officials believe the suspect traveled by train from California to Chicago and then on to Washington, where in recent days he checked in as a guest to the hotel where one of Washington's glitziest events was being held Saturday night.
Investigators have not publicly named the suspect, but two law enforcement officials familiar with the matter have identified him to The Associated Press as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.
Law enforcement officials who have examined the gunman's electronic devices and his writings preliminarily believe he intended to target administration members in attendance at the dinner. He attempted to charge into the cavernous ballroom at the Washington Hilton but was tackled to the ground in a chaotic scene that resulted in shots being fired, President Donald Trump being hurried off the stage and guests ducking for cover beneath their tables.
“It does appear that he did in fact set out to target folks who work in the administration, likely including the president,” Blanche told NBC's “Meet the Press.”
The suspect is believed to have purchased the firearms he carried within the last couple of years, Blanche said. He is not being cooperative and is expected to face multiple charges on Monday.
Video posted by Trump showed the suspect running past security barricades as Secret Service agents ran toward him. One officer was shot in a bullet-resistant vest but was recovering, officials said. The gunman was taken into custody and was not injured, but was being evaluated at a hospital, police said.
“He failed,” Blanche said on CBS's “Face the Nation.” “Law enforcement did their jobs.”
Social media posts that appear to match the suspect show he is a highly educated tutor and amateur video game developer.
A May 2025 profile photo of Allen appears to match the appearance of the man in a photo of the alleged attacker being taken into custody that was posted Saturday night by Trump. The photo, posted to the social networking site LinkedIn, shows him in a cap and gown after graduating with a master's degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills.
Allen earned a bachelor's degree in 2017 in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He listed his involvement there in a Christian student fellowship and a campus group that battled with Nerf guns.
The shooting at the security barricades happened minutes after the event got underway.
The Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the room as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds. Gasps echoed through the ballroom as guests realized something was happening. Hundreds of journalists immediately got on phones to call in information.
“Out of the way, sir!” someone yelled. Others yelled to duck. From one corner, a “God Bless America” chant began as the president was escorted offstage. Outside the hotel, members of the National Guard and other authorities flooded the area as helicopters circled overhead.
After an initial attempt to resume the event, it was scrapped for the night and will be rescheduled.
