A 14-year-old boy was killed on Tuesday after being struck allegedly by a speeding car while crossing NH 66 in Brahmavara in Udupi district, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred around 8.30 AM when Vamsh Shetty, a Class 6 student at SMS School, was heading to a summer camp, they said.<\/p>\n
The driver of the offending vehicle, Akhilesh (21), from Kalaburagi, was arrested by Brahmavara police, who have registered a case in connection with the incident, police said.<\/p>\n
Preliminary inquiry suggested that the car was allegedly speeding as it approached from the Kundapur side, they said.<\/p>\n
According to the police, Shetty was rushed to a nearby private hospital but succumbed to his injuries. His parents, originally from Vakvady village, reside in Brahmavara.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at a junction identified as a blackspot by district authorities due to frequent accidents.<\/p>\n
Locals and leaders gathered near the hospital, renewed demands for a flyover, citing the lack of service roads and inadequate infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The National Highways Authority of India has yet to act on these requests.<\/p>\n
