Two Bengaluru techies died after BBMP garbage truck ran over a bike, driver arrested: Report

The accident happened near KR Circle while both the victims were riding on their Harley Davidson bike. A BBMP garbage vehicle reportedly hit the bike from the behind and ran over it. Though they were rushed to the hospital immediately, they were declared dead. They were wearing helmets at the time of accident and over speeding of the garbage truck is said to be the reason for the fatal accident. Both garbage vehicles and water tankers in Bengaluru have become death traps due to rash and negligent driving. In June, V Rudrani, a native of Andhra Pradesh working at a software firm in the Varthur area was killed in an accident. While she was returning home in Gunjur after work, the water tanker, which was serving as a cleaning vehicle, ran over her and crushed her to death. The driver was detained and an FIR was registered against him.
