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.

"At least 36 people have been affected with diarrhoea after having 'bundia' at the wedding ceremony. They are being treated at Lesliganj Hospital and Medinirai Medical College and Hospital," Palamu civil surgeon Anil Kumar Shrivastav said.
"I have also ensured the deputation of medical staff from Lesliganj and Sadar blocks at Medinirai Medical College and Hospital. Adequate beds and essential medicines have also been arranged," he said.
Shrivastav added that the food inspector had been directed to collect samples of the 'bundia' for examination to determine whether any adulterant had caused the illness.
