A two-wheeler rider was killed when he came under the wheels of a speeding minibus, allegedly while trying to avoid a pothole. The incident took place on Thursday evening near Kanteerava Studio on a road off Outer Ring Road.
This is the second incident in ten days where motorists lost their lives while trying to navigate potholes. A physically challenged senior citizen was killed in an accident in Manganahalli while trying to navigate a pothole earlier this month.
The deceased, Manoj Kumar Gowdar, 25, who hails from Sirsi and works as a research assistant in Peenya Industrial Area was returning home in Mahalakshmi Layout when the accident occurred. He was riding his bike to the left of a minibus next to him. However, he suddenly took a sharp right turn, purportedly to avoid a large pothole just a few feet away on the road. He hit a pole and then the back of the bus and fell. He and his bike came under the wheels of the minibus.
