A serious road accident involving the car of DYSP Vaishnavi Patil, who is posted with the Kolhapur Anti-Corruption Bureau, has been reported near Chitradurga district in Karnataka. According to available information, the accident occurred while she was returning to Kolhapur from Bengaluru. The mishap took place in the early hours when her car rammed into a lorry on the highway. The impact was severe, completely damaging the front portion of the car. Two people travelling with DYSP Patil died on the spot due to the force of the collision.

All the injured were immediately rushed to the district hospital in Chitradurga for emergency medical treatment. Doctors treating Patil stated that she is out of danger and responding well to treatment. The exact cause of the accident is still not known, and authorities are investigating the incident. Preliminary reports suggest that the collision between the car and the lorry was extremely forceful, leading to the tragic outcome.
In another accident reported last month, at least five people lost their lives after being burned to death, and more than 20 others were seriously injured when a private bus caught fire following a collision with a container truck on National Highway-48 near the HP petrol pump at Javanagondanahalli. Seven additional passengers sustained minor injuries in the incident. The bus, which was en route from Bengaluru to Gokarna, reportedly crashed into a container truck travelling towards Bengaluru due to the alleged negligence of the truck driver. The impact triggered a massive fire, killing four bus passengers on the spot, along with the container truck driver.
