Nurse killed in accident
Bangalore, DH News Service:

A staff nurse with Sagar Hospital at Jayanagar, was killed in a road accident near the Maharani College Friday afternoon.


Tara DeviPolice said, the victim, Tara Devi (23) was on her way to the hospital with her fiance Ashok on his two-wheeler. As they were approaching the college, a goods vehicle came from behind and brushed against the handle of the bike. This unsettled the rider, who fell on the road along with Tara.

While Ashok fell on the left side and escaped, Tara came under the wheels of the same goods vehicle and was crushed to death, sources said.

Police arrested the driver of the vehicle, who had fled the spot after the accident. A case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder was registered against the driver.

Sources said, Tara Devi was from Hassan district and was living at the Nurses Hostel of the hospital. She was engaged to Ashok a few months back, and their marriage was fixed two months later.

A large number of nursing students gathered at the Victoria Hospital’s morgue where the postmortem was performed.

Yesterday, as I slowed my car down near a speed bump, a two-wheeler rider with a baby and a woman was behind me. Instead of waiting, he risked all their lives to overtake me and thread his motorbike between my car and an on-coming vehicle narrowly missing both of us. Were it not for the preventive action that I took an accident similar to the one above would have occurred which would probably have been blamed on me. I can bet that is what occurred in this case. Two-wheeler riders are extremely reckless on the roads. Everyday, I encounter someone trying to overtake both from the left and the right even when it is unsafe, cutting across in front of me from one side of the road to the other, turning onto a road without checking for oncoming traffic and the like. They should be severely dealt with.
