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.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
