Kundapur, Oct 1: A student walking on the footpath with his friends after finishing the day's classes was tragically killed when a tipper truck struck him at Kageri near Koteshwara First Grade College on Tuesday October 1.
The deceased has been identified as Dhanush, a resident of Nagoor, and a first-year BSc student at Koteshwara Kalavara Varadaraja Shetty Government First Grade College.
Dhanush was walking with two of his friends on the interlocked footpath when a speeding and recklessly driven tipper, named Sri Mahaganapati Prasanna, approached from behind. The driver, in an attempt to avoid hitting an oncoming car, swerved and struck Dhanush, killing him on the spot.
Kundapur traffic police have registered the case and are investigating further.
