A Bengaluru scooter accident near Deepanjali Nagar Metro station killed two young women after a lorry struck their two-wheeler while they were travelling towards Mysuru Road, according to a report by Prajavani and details attributed to Byatarayanapura traffic police.
The deceased were identified as Sindhushree, 27, and Vidya, 19, residents of Mahalakshmi Layout. The crash took place at about 3.30 pm, when the women were riding near the metro station, the report said.
According to the police account cited by Prajavani, the lorry approached from behind at high speed and hit the scooter. The lorry’s wheels ran over the two women, resulting in their deaths. The report did not provide further details about the nature of the road, traffic conditions or whether any other vehicle was involved.
The incident has raised immediate safety concerns for road users travelling around a busy urban transport corridor. Deepanjali Nagar Metro station is located along the Mysuru Road side of Bengaluru, where metro access, local traffic and commercial movement share limited road space. The available report, however, does not establish whether the crash was linked to a specific junction, road-design feature or traffic-management failure.
Byatarayanapura traffic police reached the location, conducted an inspection and registered a case, the report said. The lorry driver reportedly fled the scene after the collision. Police said the vehicle’s registration number was from Rajasthan. The report did not state whether the lorry had been traced or whether an arrest had been made.
The deaths have also brought personal loss into focus: Sindhushree’s marriage had reportedly been scheduled for the following week. Further details about the investigation, the vehicle and the circumstances leading to the collision were not available in the supplied report. The next official steps are expected to come from Byatarayanapura traffic police as they investigate the crash and seek the lorry driver.
