Bengaluru, September 7, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A five-year-old schoolboy was killed after he was run over by a tipper lorry while travelling on a scooter with his mother to school near Uttarahalli in Bengaluru on Monday.
The accident took place near Savanadurbar Ashram. The deceased was identified as five-year-old Bhaveen.
According to police, Bhaveen was travelling with his mother, Shubhalatha, who was taking him to school on a scooter. She had reportedly dropped another child at school shortly before the accident and was on her way to drop Bhaveen when the incident occurred.
The tipper lorry allegedly brushed against the scooter, causing Bhaveen to fall onto the road. The lorry then ran over the child, killing him on the spot.
The driver allegedly fled the scene following the accident. Kengeri Traffic Police have registered a case and seized the vehicle, while efforts are underway to trace and apprehend the driver.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident and examining the movements of the tipper lorry and events leading up to the collision.
The fatal incident came amid two other serious road accidents in Karnataka’s Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts, in which seven people were killed, including four members of a Bengaluru family returning from Tirupati.
In the first accident, four pilgrims from Bengaluru were killed after their car reportedly lost control and overturned near Dodda Kari village in KGF taluk of Kolar district on the Chennai-Bengaluru Expressway.
