A 34-year-old woman was killed when a Maruti Alto, rear-ended by a Toyota Innova, struck her on Tumakuru Road near Dasanapura around 1.45 pm on Wednesday.
Sudha, of Dasanapura, had reached the median strip by crossing one half of the road. She was waiting for her daughter to return from school. Meanwhile, a Toyota Innova heading towards Nelamangala drove up rashly and rear-ended a Maruti Alto moving in the same direction. The driver of Maruti Alto lost control of the vehicle. The hatchback jumped the median strip and knocked down Sudha, killing her on the spot.
The drivers of both the cars abandoned their vehicles and fled the spot, fearing public wrath. The Nelamangala traffic police rushed to the spot and took the body to the government hospital in the town. They have booked both the drivers for causing accidental death due to rash and negligent driving.
