Class 10 student dies after motorcycle collision
The first accident occurred around 7.20 pm on Sunday near JK Basavanna Circle, on the road towards New BDA Layout in Shyamarajapura, within Yelahanka traffic police limits.
Hemanth was travelling on a motorcycle with his 17-year-old friend, Vamshi, who was riding the vehicle. According to preliminary reports, a car allegedly driven at high speed entered a one-way road from the Byaladakere side and struck the motorcycle.
The impact left both teenagers seriously injured. Hemanth suffered severe head injuries and was shifted to a hospital for treatment, where he later died.
Vamshi also sustained serious injuries and was undergoing treatment, according to the report.
The accident has raised concerns over reckless driving and violations of one-way traffic rules. Police are investigating the circumstances of the collision, including the car’s movement on the road and the events leading up to the crash.

In a separate incident, Pappu Kisku, 34, died after a speeding car hit him within Devanahalli traffic police limits around 12.30 am on Monday.
