Mangaluru, Jun 22: A 26-year-old youth lost his life after his two-wheeler rammed into the rear of a moving lorry on the railway overbridge at Ekkur on National Highway 66 here on January 21 morning.

The deceased has been identified as Sudheesh C K, a resident of Pathoor in Varkady, Manjeshwar. He was employed as an AC mechanic.

The tragic incident took place when Sudheesh was commuting from his home to the city on Sunday morning. Preliminary investigations by the police suggest that speeding might have been the primary cause of the accident.

According to sources, Sudheesh crashed his bike into a heavy lorry moving ahead of him on the Ekkur railway overbridge, sustaining severe head injuries in the impact. Local residents immediately rushed the grievously injured youth to a nearby hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries due to massive blood loss and failed to respond to the treatment.

Personnel from the Mangaluru South traffic police station visited the spot, conducted an inspection, and registered a case.

    One should make survey how many people lost their lives with accidents with motor bike itself.Many speed with their bike more than given the tempo limit.some want to show their skill ?our roads are not meant for big trucks buses and motor bikes and all these rickshas.A Seperate line should be made for heavy trucks and Buses.So that small vehicles can ride smoothly.No place for any vehicles .Everywhere jammed.May his soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathies to his family.

    I don't think he was wearing a helmet. This has to be confirmed in the news article. Many of them take care of their phones from scratches.... Our head is important too.
