Mangaluru, June 27: A young woman lost her life in a tragic road accident near Pavanje on National Highway 66 on Friday, June 27 after she stopped her scooter to wear a raincoat amid heavy rains.

The deceased has been identified as Shruthi Acharya (27), a resident of Bangrakulur. Her father Gopal Acharya (53), who was accompanying her, and a bystander Kairunnisa (52) suffered serious injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Shruthi and her father had halted their two-wheeler by the roadside to wear raincoats when a car speeding from Udupi towards Mangaluru rammed into them. The impact was so severe that Shruthi and her scooter were dragged for several metres. Though she was rushed to the hospital, she succumbed to her injuries.

Shruthi, a software engineer based in Chennai, had returned home recently to attend the final rites of her brother Sujith Acharya who had passed away about 15 days ago. On the day of the accident, she was returning with her father after visiting a bank in Kinnigoli.

    Its very Sad , May Her Soul Rest in Peace... The vehicular traffic increased a thousand times on the roads ,its imaginable to find a safe corner to attend the calls. The vehicle found to be in high speed ,to rule out influence of liquor ot long hall driving. Govt. To cease the driving licence for life and punishment to be in jail for 20 yrs ,His compensation will not bring Life he as taken.. The verdict should be lesson for harsh driving.... Govt to announce to fix the jammers at the driver side to avoid making calls or taking calls DRIVE SAFE .GOD BLESS

    Very sad and tragic end of young life. Can't even imagine as to what goes on with the parents after losing two young children one after another. May God bless the departed soul to rest in eternal peace and give strength to the parents to bear this enormous loss. Fail to understand why people can't drive the vehicles carefully and respect each other on our roads.

    May Shruti Acharya's soul find peace. These days, due to overspeeding and reckless driving, many innocent lives have been lost, yet no one has been punished. No one seems to fear the law anymore.
