Metro pillar comes crashing down, killing woman, son in India

A woman and her two-and-a-half year old son died, while her husband and daughter were injured after an under-construction metro rail pillar fell on their motorcycle in Karnataka's Bengaluru of India on Tuesday.

The incident was reported from Bengaluru's Nagavara area in the morning, reports NDTV.

The victim couple and their twin children were passing through the stretch on their bike when the iron pillar crashed on them.

Tejasvani and her son Vihan sustained grievous injuries in the accident. They were rushed to a nearby hospital by passersby where they died during the treatment.

Tejasvani's husband Lohith and daughter are being treated at the hospital.

Lohith was driving the bike and Tejasvini was the pillion rider, the police said, adding both of them were wearing helmets. The pillar, made of metal rods, was about 40 feet long.
