Udupi: A serious road mishap took place on the route leading to the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Manipal, when a two-wheeler and a car rammed into each other head-on.
The intense impact of the crash flung the motorcyclist onto the road divider, causing him to sustain grave injuries. Eyewitnesses at the scene rushed to alert authorities and helped move the victim to safety until medical assistance arrived.
According to preliminary investigations, the biker was reportedly riding at a high speed, which may have led to the accident. Officials noted that reckless riding on busy stretches often contributes to such unfortunate incidents.
Traffic movement was briefly disrupted in the area as police inspected the accident site and facilitated the movement of vehicles. The damaged bike and car were later cleared from the road to ease congestion.
Authorities are yet to release the identity of the injured rider, and his condition remains critical. Further details about the case, including statements from the drivers involved, are expected once the investigation progresses.
The police have once again urged motorists to follow traffic rules, avoid overspeeding, and maintain caution on city roads to prevent such life-threatening accidents.
