• An FIR for hit-and-run has been registered by Avalahalli police, with KR Puram traffic police assisting the probe and reviewing CCTV footage.
• Officers say the involved vehicle has been traced using surveillance video and that the driver will be taken into custody shortly.
• Residents and eyewitnesses blame a hazardous stretch with potholes, loose soil and gravel, while police say they are examining whether road conditions or rash driving directly caused the crash.
