Medha Akarsh, a central government employee and mother of a three-year-old, was riding pillion with a colleague when the rider braked suddenly after a car ahead stopped. She fell onto the road and was run over. Police say the road condition was poor but the immediate cause was sudden braking. The driver of the goods vehicle fled and CCTV footage is being checked. Hundreds of residents held a candlelight march Wednesday evening, accusing the Chandapura municipal council and local MLA of years of neglect. They said road repairs in the Ananth Nagar area have been substandard, with potholes reappearing within months. The municipal council has agreed to an urgent meeting on Thursday morning to hear grievances. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Bengaluru, civic negligence, hit-and-run, pothole, road accident, woman killed Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-woman-dies-after-two-wheeler-skids-on-broken-road/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
