Bengaluru: A teenager lost her life in an accident here. 

It has been learnt that the victim, Preethi Chopra(19) was not wearing a steardy helmet while she was riding on the two wheeler

Preethi, first-year B.Com student at Surana College in Jayanagar, was on her way back home with her elder sister. Preethi was a pillion rider. A speeding truck rammed into them. After the collision, Preethi fell off the scooter and hit her head against the pavement. As she was not wearing a proper helmet, she died while her sister sustained some minor injuries.
