2 Women Techies In Chennai Run Over By Speeding Driver

Sri Lakhsmi and Lavanya, both 23 years old, were rammed by a car in Chennai

Chennai:

Two women software professionals were killed when they were hit by a speeding car while crossing the road at Chennai's IT corridor last night.

S Lavanya and R Lakshmi, both 23, worked as analysts at HCL State Street Service. They were on their way home, at around 11.30 pm on Wednesday, when a Honda City rammed them.

The driver, Motheesh Kumar, has been arrested. The 20-year-old surrendered. He works with his father, who manufactures paper plates, investigators say.

Kumar was driving the Honda City at a very high speed, a senior police officer told NDTV.

"The car appears to have run at a high speed of around 130 km per hour. The young women worked as analysts with HCL State Street Service and they were heading home," the officer said.

One of them was killed instantly while the other died in hospital.

Lavanya was from Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh and Lakshmi, from Kerala's Palakkad.

The IT corridor comprises of a toll road dotted with tech companies and a huge residential population. Many say it lacks enough zebra crossings, forcing pedestrians to take risks and cross roads in the middle of traffic. "The highways department is lethargic about this. Either they ought to provide zebra crossings with signal safety or construct overhead bridges for pedestrians" said a senior police officer.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...

Homeless people were found living in riverside caves. In a clear example of California's homelessness crisis, authorities found caves along the Tuolumne River where people had been living. These 20-foot-deep underground dwellings, reached by makeshift stairs, were filled with makeshift furniture and personal belongings, revealing the desperate measures some take for shelter.
