Tragic Morning on Mysuru Road Claims Two Lives
A devastating road accident on Mysuru Road in Bengaluru claimed the lives of a mother and her young son on Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves through the local community.
The deceased have been identified as 41-year-old Ashwini and her 20-year-old son Abhilash, both residents of Doodagollarahatti in Kengeri. The tragic incident occurred around 7:45 am, during what should have been a routine morning commute.
The Fateful Morning Commute
According to preliminary reports, Abhilash was dropping his mother Ashwini to work when the unimaginable tragedy struck. The young man, in what would become his final act of devotion to his mother, was accompanying her on what should have been an ordinary journey.
The accident involved a canter, a medium-sized commercial vehicle, which lost control and ran over the mother-son duo. The exact circumstances that led to the vehicle hitting the pedestrians are currently under investigation by local authorities.
Community in Mourning
The tragic incident has left the Doodagollarahatti neighborhood in deep mourning. Ashwini, at 41 years old, and her son Abhilash, just beginning his adult life at 20, were known to be close-knit family members who shared a strong bond.
Local residents expressed shock and grief over the incident, highlighting the increasing concerns about road safety on Mysuru Road, which serves as a crucial arterial route in Bengaluru. The timing of the accident—during peak morning hours—has raised further questions about traffic management and pedestrian safety measures.
Emergency services responded to the scene promptly, but despite their efforts, both victims succumbed to their injuries. The police have registered a case and are conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to this heartbreaking incident.
Growing Concerns Over Road Safety
This tragic event has once again brought attention to the urgent need for improved road safety measures in Bengaluru. Mysuru Road, being one of the city's busiest corridors, witnesses heavy vehicular traffic throughout the day, particularly during peak commuting hours.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:45 am on November 30, 2025, adding to the growing list of road accidents that have claimed innocent lives in the city. Traffic police officials have assured that appropriate legal action will be taken against those responsible for the accident.
As the investigation continues, the family and community mourn the loss of two precious lives taken too soon in a tragedy that has left an indelible mark on all who knew them.
