New Delhi: A terrible accident occurred at Kodigenahalli on the Kempegowda International Airport flyover, where nearly ten vehicles—including a truck, lorry, car, and taxi—rammed into one another, causing massive chaos on the stretch.
The impact of the collision resulted in severe traffic congestion, with vehicles stuck for several kilometres. Reports say, the chain reaction began when one vehicle suddenly braked, triggering multiple collisions within seconds.
The incident created panic among commuters, especially those heading toward the airport. Emergency teams and traffic police rushed to the spot to manage the situation, clear debris, and prevent further accidents.
Commuters have been advised to drive slowly and stay alert. Even if it delays travel by a few minutes, avoiding rash driving can prevent such large-scale accidents.
In a separate incident in September, eight people were killed and 20 others suffered severe injuries after a truck collided with a Ganesha immersion procession in a village in Hassan district. Following this, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced a compensation of ₹5 lakh for the families of the victims who lost their lives in the unprecedented tragedy.
In another incident, two college students were killed on the spot when their motorcycle hit a road divider near Harohalli Road in Magadi taluk of Bengaluru South district on Sunday.
