Udupi, Aug 11: A 24-year-old man died after the motorcycle he was riding crashed into a roadside tree at Kelaparkala, Udupi, late on Monday night, August 10.

The deceased has been identified as Sanath.

According to the complaint, Sanath, along with his friends, had travelled to Manipal on Monday night on two motorcycles. After having dinner, the three left for home at around 1:25 am.

Sanath reportedly rode his friend’s motorcycle while his friends followed him on another motorcycle.

While proceeding along the Udupi-Agumbe National Highway from Manipal towards Parkala, Sanath allegedly rode at high speed and in a negligent manner. When he reached near the Gopalakrishna Temple at Kelaparkala Down, he reportedly moved towards the extreme right side of the road and lost control before crashing into a roadside tree.

The impact threw Sanath, along with the motorcycle, into a roadside drain. His friends and members of the public rushed to his aid and shifted him to Hospital, Manipal, in a vehicle.

However, doctors examined him and declared him dead.
