Police renew focus on helmet awareness in city
In the early hours of November 10, two youth were killed in a road accident near the ACA/VDCA Stadium while they were on their way to a birthday party. Initially, the PM Palem police suspected that they could have been run over by an unidentified vehicle, but a deeper investigation revealed that the youth had rammed into a lorry and were not wearing helmets.
In another case, on November 14, a 22-year old woman and her mother died in an accident on BRTS Road at Arilova. Traffic police found that the woman riding the two-wheeler was wearing an uncertified helmet. The woman had also not fastened the clip of the helmet, due to which she sustained severe head injuries after the helmet came off on impact, said Inspector of Traffic (East Sub-division) Ch. Shanmukha Rao.
