They were mowed down by car driven by a 23-year-old engineering student
After a spot visit on Wednesday, senior police officials have recommended that the parapet wall of the Electronics City flyover be raised by at least two feet.
They also recommended putting up reflectors for a 6-km stretch and also accident zone signboards. These recommendations were made in the wake of the deaths of a man and a woman who were thrown off the flyover on Tuesday night when a car knocked down their two-wheeler.
The deceased were identified as Preetham Kumar, 30, and his friend Krithika Raman, 28, who hail from Tamil Nadu. They had borrowed a friend’s motorcycle to go on a ride, said a police officer. Around 9.20 p.m., they parked it in the lay-by on the flyover near Singasandra and were standing next to it, when they were hit by the car.
