Two Dead, Four Injured in Separate Road Mishaps in Ballari
In two tragic accidents in Ballari district, two motorcyclists lost their lives, and four others sustained injuries.
In the first incident, Tayappa (40), a resident of Myasakeri in Hosapete, was riding a motorcycle with his wife Radha (35) and children Divya (10) and Dhruva (8). The family suddenly entered National Highway-50 near Danayakanakere while attempting to cross the road. A speeding SUV, traveling from Hosapete to Kudligi, collided with their bike. The impact threw all four riders into the air.
Tayappa tragically succumbed to his injuries en route to a trauma care center in Ballari, while Radha and the children are undergoing treatment. Mariyammanahalli police have filed a case and are investigating the incident.
In another accident near Bannihatti village, Riyaz (25), a pizza delivery rider, died when the motorcycle he was riding brushed against the parapet wall of the Narihalla bridge. His co-worker Kiran (24), who was with him, sustained severe injuries. It is suspected that overspeeding led to the crash.
Kiran is currently receiving medical care, and Toranagal police have registered a case to probe further.
Both incidents highlight the growing concerns around road safety and reckless driving.
