Two killed in separate road accidents in Bengaluru

In Bengaluru on Sunday, two individuals lost their lives in separate motorcycle accidents, both of which involved wearing helmets. The first victim, a youth from Delhi named Namay Sharma, succumbed to his injuries after his motorcycle collided with a retaining wall of the Silk Board double-decker flyover in Madiwala. The accident occurred around 6.30 a.m. when Sharma allegedly lost control of his bike while navigating a curve.

Despite being unharmed by the helmet, he suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. A case has been registered at the Madiwala Traffic Police Station.

The second fatality involved a 30-year-old cook, Ganga Yadav, from Koramangala, who was killed when their scooter veered off the road and crashed into a tree near the Marathahalli-Sarjapur Outer Ring Road. Her pillion rider, Ram Shankar Yadav, also sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital treatment. Neither victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. A case has been registered at the HAL Airport Traffic Police Station.
