BENGALURU: A routine morning ride turned fatal for a 32-year-old woman, who was thrown into the path of an oncoming mini goods vehicle after the two-wheeler she was riding pillion on skidded on a slushy, badly damaged stretch of a road in Electronics City here Wednesday.
The victim, Medha Akarsh, a resident of Anantnagar and a native of Kerala, worked at the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) office. She is survived by her husband, Akarsh, and their three-year-old son.

The accident occurred around 9 am on Anantnagar Main Road, when Medha was travelling with one of her colleagues, Ajay Guru, from Anantnagar towards Singasandra, police said.
“A car just ahead of Guru’s two-wheeler suddenly braked after a pedestrian walked towards the middle of the road. Guru applied the brakes, too, causing Medha to be thrown off the two-wheeler and fall onto the road, when a mini goods vehicle approaching from the opposite direction ran over her,” a cop added.
Medha was rushed to a nearby private hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The incident sparked outrage among residents, who blamed the poor condition of the road for the accident and questioned the civic authorities over continued neglect of the stretch.
Police, while acknowledging that the road condition was bad, clarified that preliminary findings pointed to sudden braking as the immediate cause of the accident
“The authorities should be held responsible for this death. The roads have been muddy and slushy because of the severe disrepair those are in,” a message circulated on a local WhatsApp group said.
The driver of the goods vehicle fled the spot with the vehicle soon after the accident,” police said.
Police said none of the bystanders noted the registration number of the mini goods vehicle. “We are checking footage from the CCTVs in the vicinity,” an officer added.
