Yet another Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus, route no 252, turned killer when it crushed a 27-year-old woman to death in Dasarahalli, Peenya on Sunday.
The deceased has been identified as H Roopa, a resident of Dasarahalli. She was an accountant with a private company on MG Road.
The incident occurred around 8.30 am in front of the Wipro office. The speeding BMTC bus, while attempting to overtake Roopa’s scooter, hit the two-wheeler from behind. Roopa, who was on her way to office, lost her balance and fell on the road. She came under the bus and died on the spot.
The bus driver fled the spot, leaving the passengers on the spot. The bus was going towards Kempegowda bus station in Majestic from Peenya. “Roopa was on the extreme left of the road. There was a lot of space available between the median and her scooter.
But the bus driver was careless and hit the scooter,” said a witness.

The body was handed over to the family after post-mortem at MS Ramaiah Hospital. A case has been registered in Peenya traffic police station. Investigation is on.
