Bantwal, Jun 4: A 10-year-old girl tragically succumbed to severe injuries following a collision between two two-wheelers at Soorikumeru in Vittal on the evening of Wednesday, June 3.

The deceased has been identified as Nairuthi M Suvarna, daughter of Hemanth Kumar, a resident of Balthila village.

The fatal accident occurred when Hemanth was returning home on his bike along with his wife and two daughters, including Nairuthi, after offering prayers at the Netla Sadashiva temple. As they reached near Soorikumeru, a scooter crashed into their bike.

The impact of the collision threw Nairuthi onto the concrete road, resulting in critical head injuries. She was immediately rushed to a private hospital in Thumbe. However, she failed to respond to the medical treatment and breathed her last around midnight.

Nairuthi was a talented student attending a local primary school. She was also an enthusiastic bhajan singer and was actively receiving training in it.

Bantwal traffic police sub-inspector Adarsh and his personnel visited the accident spot to conduct an inspection. A case has been registered at the Bantwal traffic police station in connection with the incident.

    This is heartbreaking. TRAGIC LOSS. MAY GOD GIVE STRENGTH TO THE PARENTS Was it a case of wrong side driving? Wrong side driving is becoming a common and rampant problem in Mangalore city too. Especially scooters and autorickshaw drivers. People need to be made aware of the risks, not only to their own lives but more so to others who are actually following the rules on the road. It is even more disheartening to see it being done by educated folk, sometimes even parents riding with children on the bikes. Just to save a few seconds of time or a few drops of fuel, they're putting others lives at risk. It will only lead to a lifetime of guilt. Pedestrians have to be highly alert and look in all directs even while crossing one way roads. Request the traffic police to penalize wrong side drivers and put an end to this menace before it becomes like like Bangalore.

    As per RTO rules, not more than 2 people on a motorcycle. Insurance doesn't cover if more than 2 people on a motorcycle at the time of accident.
