A two-year-old boy tragically died on Friday after a cement lorry mixer crashed into a compound wall in Bengaluru. The incident occurred on November 7, 2025.
Details surrounding the accident are still emerging, but initial reports confirm that the lorry veered off course and collided with the wall, resulting in fatal injuries to the toddler. Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances that led to the crash.
The incident has sparked outrage and grief in the local community. Residents are calling for increased safety measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future. Concerns have been raised regarding traffic management and the presence of heavy vehicles in residential areas.
This is not an isolated incident. In January 2014, a two-year-old named Kumar was killed in HSR Layout when a cement-laden lorry reversed without noticing him. In April 2015, another two-year-old boy was killed by a lorry in Peenya. In December 2018, a 14-year-old boy was killed when a lorry ran over him and his mother while they were sleeping on the side of the highway.
The police are currently investigating the accident and are working to determine the cause. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
