As part of the recent changes, the road from St Agnes to Bendorewell Circle has been made one-way.  Since Monday vehicles have been using both  the lanes on this road. However as there is no divider   at the point where there is a road deviating to the right, vehicles take a turn here all of a sudden.

That is what happened on Thursday, when a Renault Duster car  heading towards Bendorewell Circle took a turn here and  a Maruti 800 car crashed against it leaving both the vehicles damaged.

Soon after,  a motorbike also took a right turn only to be  hit by a KSRTC bus. The bike rider Mangal Kumar (54), a telecom employee, was injured and rushed to Colaco Hospital.

The accidents blocked traffic for over an hour and public entered into an altercation with  the police personnel blaming the department for the accidents.
