A 59-year-old man died after his car crashed into the compound wall of a house in North Bengaluru on Wednesday night.
The accident occurred at a T-junction in Rajajinagar 5th Block around 9.20 pm, police said.
Passersby called the police and rushed Prasad to a nearby hospital but it was too late. He was declared brought dead. His body was handed over to the family on Thursday after the post-mortem was conducted at Victoria Hospital. Police are awaiting the post-mortem report to ascertain the cause of death. Prasad is unlikely to have been under the influence of alcohol as his family said he was a teetotaller.
Prasad was an accounts officer at the Central Warehouse Corporation.
In another accident, 40-year-old labourer Sunil Kumar was killed after a private bus knocked him down at Madanayakanahalli on the northern outskirts of the city on Wednesday night.
Kumar was walking on a dark stretch when a bus heading towards Tumakuru knocked him down. He sustained grievous injuries and died of excessive bleeding, police said.
