On Friday morning, a tragic road accident on the Chennai-Bengaluru highway at the Shoolagiri location in Tamil Nadu took away the lives of a 35-year-old woman and her teenage son. Swetha Banu and her 15-year-old son Samir are the victims of the accident who were reported to be on their regular morning walk when hit in the back by a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) heading to Chennai and Bengaluru.
Police reports have indicated that the impact of the collision caused the SUV to skid off the road and land in a roadside gutter. The car was badly damaged, and it was finally impounded by the police to investigate. The SUV driver is arrested, and a case is registered. Research is undergoing to see the exact conditions of the accident, and whether there was any negligence or infringement of traffic laws that led to the tragedy.
One of the senior police officers said, the car is taken, and the driver was arrested. An in-depth probe is being conducted to determine the cause of the accident. CCTV shots are being reviewed by the local police and witnesses are being interviewed to re-create what happened before the incident.
Swetha Banu and Samir bodies were taken to Krishnagiri Government Hospital in order to undergo post-mortem operations. The law is liaising with the family and offering the required support at this challenging moment.
This accident illuminates the dangers of walking, even in a high-traffic highway, and has prompted demands of better safety precautions, such as the construction of good sidewalks and walk crossing in locations with heavy traffic. The locals have been outraged and saddened by the accident and urged the governments to be even tougher toward careless driving so that future accidents of this nature can be avoided.
It is hoped that the investigation will help to clear up more about what the precise cause of the crash was, and police have been urging drivers to watch their guard and to comply with regulations.
