A tragic hit-and-run accident in Varavu, Ba, has left the local community grieving the loss of 45-year-old Ronal Karan, who was struck while trying to cross the road to meet his daughter at a nearby shop. The incident occurred around 4:00 PM as Karan was hit by an unidentified vehicle that sped away from the scene.
Witnesses have expressed their shock and sorrow over the accident, and local resident Jai Prakash is calling on the government and relevant authorities to take urgent action by installing speed humps along the highway where this incident occurred. He highlighted the increasing danger posed to pedestrians by the presence of speeding vehicles, emphasizing the need for measures to enhance road safety for those crossing.
This hit-and-run case adds to existing concerns about pedestrian safety and road fatalities in the area. In other related incidents, such as a recent accident that involved a man in his 40s losing control of his vehicle on Kings Road near Karavi, there have been notable calls for improved safety measures.
