On Monday, three individuals were reportedly killed in a collision near the Bannerghatta toll gate on Nice Road in Bengaluru, where two cars crashed head-on. Videos of the incident that emerged on social media show the cars extensively wrecked, with bystanders at the scene observing the damage and debris while capturing footage on their phones.
Reports indicate that a group of three young men from Ramnagar were traveling to Goa via Bengaluru in a Scorpio car. The accident happened when the high-speed Scorpio collided with the divider.
Due to the wet road conditions from the rain, the speeding Scorpio lost control and crashed into the divider, subsequently colliding with an oncoming XUV700. The three occupants of the Scorpio were killed instantly.

According to reports, efforts are currently being made to clear the road and restore smooth traffic flow.
This incident follows an accident a day earlier on the Mumbai-Nashik Expressway near Thane, where 15 people were injured in a multi-vehicle collision, according to the Highway Traffic Police. Additionally, in Byadagi Taluk, Haveri district of Karnataka, 13 people lost their lives and four others were injured when a van carrying 17 passengers crashed into a stationary lorry parked along National Highway 48, which runs from Pune to Bengaluru.
