Mangaluru, Oct 11: In an accident that occurred on Wednesday October 11 morning on NH 66 over Netravati bridge, a two-wheeler rider lost his life.

The deceased is identified as Azvin (21), son of Hanif, residing at Kotekar. Azvin, a fisherman by profession, left home at 3:30 am on Wednesday and was heading towards Mangaluru on his bike for his fishing work.

The driver of a fish transport truck, which was plying before the scooter on the bridge, suddenly applied the brakes. As a result, Azvin lost control of his two-wheeler and collided against the truck.

Azvin suffered serious injuries in the collision and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital. The doctors declared Azvin dead on arrival.

    Sorry but one cant blame the trucker, although they are known to be ruthless drivers. If the two wheeler was plying at a safe speed maintaining a safe distance, one life would have been spared, one family would have been happier. This is totally careless riding, over confidence, feeling invincible. My sincere condolences to the family.

    a WARNING for all two wheeler riders ' NEVER MOVE CLOSE BEHIND HEAVY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ' first they can't gauge you that you are behind them and secondly all HCV are equipped with a Air Braking System a single brake pedal touch will stop a bus or a truck within a fraction of second. be careful with city buses they stop without warning and sadly 80 % of trucks and buses don't have working tail lights and they never use side indicators.

    Sad to hear young life lost.some times we blame drivers for over speeding .But sometimes drivers cannot do anything due to bad roads .Sometimes the two Wheeler's driving two Wheeler's just behind of the big vehicles without any gap .

    Very sad incident, Young hard working lad, lost his life. Early morning, there will be fog on the streets. Visibility is poor. Also the mobile calls distract driving and also wearing helmet for safety.
