Kolar, 26 May

A doctor-in-the-making was killed on the spot when his car hit the median on the Bengaluru–Chennai Express way near Siddanahalli village early on Monday. Police identified the deceased as Krishna Jagan, 24, who was doing his internship at the PES medical College, Kuppam, in Chittor district.

This comes close on the heels of another road accident on the same stretch near Anepura on Sunday evening when KGF resident Pushpalatha, 75, was killed on the spot and her son Manjunath sustained grievous injuries and was hospitalised.

Sources said that Krishna Jagan, a resident of Indiranagara in Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh, completed his MBBS course at the PES Medical College and was working as an intern in the same institution. He came to Bengaluru to attend a relative's wedding on the 21 May and was travelling to Chittor when the mishap took place. Bangarpet police are investigating the case.

In a road accident a day before, a car proceeding from Bengaluru to KGF rammed hit the median, killing a woman on the spot and injuring her son.
