Bengaluru:  A 24-year-old BE architect student was killed after a speeding BBMP garbage truck rammed her scooter and ran over her on busy Race Course road near Mourya Circle in Bengaluru on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as BN Sahitya resident of Rajajinagara. Her father Nagaraj runs a printing press. Sahithya was a final-year student at a college near Hesaraghatta Road.  She was on her way to her internship firm on Cunningham road when a garbage truck rammed at her scooter near Maurya circle at around 11:00 am. She was thrown from the scooter and she cried for help on the road. This did not end it; the truck driver dragged the scooter for almost 200 meters till it rammed the divider and he ran over Sahitya and drove off without stopping.

The gruesome accident was captured in the CCTV. Though Sahitya wore helmet, it did not protect her life. The onlookers rushed her to the hospital but she died on the way.

The eyewitness of the incident has given statements to the police that the truck driver was driving very carelessly. Police traced the driver and went to his house but didn’t find him there. The police are suspecting that the driver was drunk while driving the truck.
