Kindergarte
Bengaluru, Mar 8: A 36-year-old kindergarten teacher, Uma Ramanan, was run over by a speeding petrol tanker near Thubarahalli bus-stand in Whitefield on Monday afternoon. Her helmet offered little protection from the wheels of the tanker.

According to witnesses, she was trying to manoeuvre around a pothole, but her two-wheeler skidded and she lost control.

A driver, who witnessed the accident, said she fell to right of the pothole and came under the wheels of the tanker that was following her vehicle.

The police, however, say there was no pothole. They have arrested the driver of the tanker for rash and negligent driving.

Ms. Ramanan taught at the The Deens Academy in Whitefield and is survived by her husband and two school-going sons.

We cannot blame anyone. The government should make a system that Heavy vehicles like Truck, Buses, Vans, Pickup all should be in a separate street . Only the cars, scooters, autorikshaw and motor bikes in other roads should be travelled, then only accident percentage will be decreases and safety. Only Ambulance can go in any street . And if we blame government or any one it is not positive behavior.
