Bengaluru, Jan 23: A 24-year-old girl was killed after a speeding BBMP garbage truck struck her scooter and ran her over on the busy Race Course Road in Central Bengaluru on Monday.

The victim has been identified as B N Sahithya, of Rajajinagar, and a final year student of architecture at a college near Hesaraghatta Road. Her father Nagaraj runs a printing press. She was interning at the firm on Cunningham Road.

She was on the way to an architecture firm on Cunningham Road when the garbage truck rear-ended her Honda Activa near Raceview Hotel, close to Maurya Circle, around 11.20 am.

She fell off the scooter and screamed for help, but the garbage truck didn't stop. It dragged the scooter for almost 200 metres until the two-wheeler slammed into the road divider and screeched to a halt.

The accident has been caught on CCTV camera. The student was wearing a helmet but it was of little help. Passersby rushed her to a hospital but she died on the way. The truck driver just drove off. 

A senior police officer quoted an eyewitness as saying that the truck was driven in a rash manner and appeared to be heading towards the old High Grounds police station.

Police traced the driver's address and went to his house but didn't find him there. The officer said the suspect was possibly drunk at the wheel.
