Mangaluru, Aug 4: A lorry hit a bike on Saturday, August 4 morning and the rider died on the spot.
The deceased Prajwal D'Souza (24) worked as a watchman and was going to Nanthoor from Padil. The lorry which hit from behind did not stop. The rider was trapped under the lorry and hence was pulled for many meters which would have caused more injuries to him.
It took a long time for the ‘108’ ambulance to arrive to the spot. Once the ambulance staff discovered that rider was dead, they refused to take the body. A private ambulance was called later which took the body to Wenlock hospital.
Deceased Prajwal D'Souza was from Puttur and stayed in Padil to work as a watchman in city.
The lorry driver is absconding.
Police are investigating.
