A 23-year-old was killed in a freak accident on Sumanahalli flyover on Outer Ring Road (ORR) on July 22. The deceased has been identified as Mukesh, hailing from Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu and a resident of Laggere. He got married seven months ago.
Mukesh had been to his village in Tiruvannamalai to visit his family. He returned to Bengaluru early morning on July 22 in a bus. He had got down at Satellite Bus Stand on Mysuru Road. Around 4.30 am, he was picked up by his brother-in-law David, 26, from the bus stand. The duo were heading to their home at Laggere on a bike, with Mukesh riding pillion.
While they were on Sumanahalli flyover, the driver of a truck transporting timber lost control of the vehicle. The truck hit the median and fell on its side. The timber logs in the truck were thrown out. They hit two bikes on the opposite lane, including the one David and Mukesh were riding.
