A vehicle travelling on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway flyover lost control and plunged roughly 40 feet to the ground, resulting in the death of a woman on board. Emergency services were alerted immediately after the crash and rushed to the scene, but the victim was pronounced dead at the site. Police have cordoned off the area to facilitate investigation and to clear debris from the flyover.
