JB Nagar Accident: 15-Year-Old Dies in Head-On Bike Collision

The first incident occurred within the JB Nagar traffic police station limits, where 15-year-old Riyan, a resident of Gangman Quarters, lost his life in a head-on collision between two two-wheelers.

The accident took place around 8:30 pm on Saturday when Riyan was riding from Old Madras Road towards SMVT Railway Station. According to police, another scooter coming from the opposite direction collided directly with his bike. The impact left Riyan severely injured. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

Mico Layout Accident: Student Dies After Tractor-Scooter Collision

In another devastating incident within the Mico Layout traffic police limits, 16-year-old Suraj Kumar, a Class 9 student, died after his scooter was hit by a tractor near Vinayaka Hospital.

Suraj, a resident of Sarvabhouma Nagar on Bannerghatta Road, was riding the scooter on Saturday night with a classmate seated behind him. Police said the scooter’s handlebar reportedly clipped the trailer of a tractor moving on the road, causing both boys to fall onto the road.

In a tragic turn of events, the tractor’s rear right wheel ran over Suraj Kumar’s head, killing him on the spot. His friend, who was riding pillion, sustained minor injuries and survived the crash.

Police Action and Investigation Underway

Following the incident, Mico Layout traffic police visited the spot, conducted an inspection, and registered a case. Preliminary findings suggest that the tractor driver was speeding and driving negligently at the time of the accident.

The driver has been taken into custody, and the vehicle has been seized for further investigation. Police also stated that action will be initiated against the owner of the scooter for allowing a minor to operate the vehicle, which is a violation of traffic regulations.
