Mysuru: A 24-year-old college student and a stone crusher worker were killed in an accident at Kodishettypura near Srirangapatna on the Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway this morning.

According to Srirangapatna Police and eyewitnesses, the college student identified as  Mounashree, who had recently got married, was waiting for a bus to reach her college on Mysuru.
