Accident claims lives of pregnant woman and her unborn child

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: An accident near Nelamangala, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, resulted in the death of a pregnant woman and her unborn child.

Sinchana, a 30-year-old resident of Edehalli village, lost her life when a tipper lorry collided with the bike she was riding on with her husband, Manjunath, who survived with injuries. The incident occurred near Edehalli in the Nelamangala Taluk.

The collision led to 8-month pregnant Sinchana being thrown from the bike, leading to the premature delivery of her baby, who did not survive.

The driver of the tipper lorry fled the scene following the accident. Police have since visited the location to investigate. Sinchana and Manjunath were on their way back to Thotanahalli village after visiting the Sivaganga Ganapati temple in Dabaspet to pray for a smooth delivery, as Sinchana was due to enter her ninth month of pregnancy.

While returning, their bike was struck by the tipper. Sinchana fell, and the impact resulted in the premature birth of her baby.
