Bengaluru Techie Injured in Pothole Accident
A man named Sridhar M, who works in computers, was badly hurt when he hit a big hole in the road while riding his scooter.
The hole wasn't marked, and it was on a road that many people use to avoid traffic.
He broke his shoulder in many places and had to go to the hospital.
This shows that the roads in that area are not safe, and people need to be careful when driving there.
The hole was on a road that connects two places in Bengaluru, a big city in India.
Many people use this road every day, but it's not well-maintained, and accidents like this can happen.
Sridhar M, an IT professional, sustained multiple fractures to his right shoulder after hitting an unmarked pothole on his scooter.
The accident occurred on a narrow road linking Panathur village to CDP Road, a route frequently used to avoid traffic congestion.
The incident highlights the hazardous condition of roads in east Bengaluru’s tech corridor.
Sridhar M works for a multinational company (MNC) on the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
The pothole was located on the Panathur–Gunjur Palya stretch near the CDP Road.
