Multiple vehicle collision on Bengaluru Flyover

Published on

Bengaluru witnessed a major traffic disruption early Thursday morning following a multi-vehicle collision on the Electronic City Flyover. The accident involved two private buses, a tractor, and a motorcycle. A biker was injured in the mishap, but no fatalities were reported.

According to police sources, the incident occurred during the early hours of June 12, when the vehicles collided in quick succession, causing traffic congestion and panic among commuters. The impact left both buses damaged, while the motorcyclist sustained injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The HSR Layout traffic police promptly arrived at the scene and launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. Preliminary findings suggest poor visibility and tailgating could have contributed to the chain reaction crash. Authorities immediately began clearing the damaged vehicles to restore traffic flow and ensure public safety.

As a safety measure, the elevated section of the flyover has been temporarily closed. Commuters traveling towards Hosur have been advised to use the service roads below the flyover until further notice. The police have also installed warning signs and are monitoring the area to prevent further incidents.

This accident adds to the growing list of traffic-related incidents on Bengaluru’s flyovers, raising concerns about road safety and vehicle regulation. Civic authorities are expected to review traffic management strategies for elevated corridors. Motorists are urged to maintain safe distances between vehicles, adhere to speed limits, and remain alert while navigating elevated and high-traffic zones. Further updates on the investigation and traffic restoration are awaited.
