Deadly Accident!!!

BY: Priyank
SOURCE: 220 COMMUNITY

This accident took place today morning when I was goin to college.. 2 boys (final year) of my college were heading towards college.. (My college is at raisen road NH12 so the roads are usually filled with big trucks and busses..) When the boys were abt to reach the campus a truck headed towards them in wrong side.. The bike (Pulsar 200) and the truck smashed and the boys were thrown out.. The truck ran away after hitting, ramming the P200... Bike's tank got blazed and the whole body of the bike got melted away.. See the pics..
One of the boy got unconscious at that instant and the other one was crying in pain, his whole leg was bleeding and the bone was clearly visible!! The OSD of the college took the boys to the nearby hospital and the police caught the truck driver later in the day..


bloody truck drivers

Thats ghastly, I guess the only thing that you can learn from this is - always expect trucks and vehicles from the wrong side in India.

Eye-witness..................

This incident happened when 10 of us were rolling on Bangalore - Mysore highway enroute Maddur three weeks ago.
The lead rider was fed up with the traffic situation and started weaving lanes to cut traffic - wrong move. I was second to lead but I overtook with precaution. After successfully cutting a couple of cars came the trucks.
There were two trucks occupying both lanes of the highway, my friend as usual took the faster lane(right lane), the truck on the right lane came to an abrupt halt with no visual or electrical indicatons whatsoever. Having no space to overtake between the two trucks and also hardly 10 metres to come to a halt from 80, the biker went into the truck sending the pillion flying. The pilllion and the rider were run over the head by the slower lane truck . The rider's face was intact because he wore a helmet. The pillion rider's parents did not want to look at his face because it was so disfigured and all internals were dangling.

Unfortunately, both did not live to tell the tale.
All this happened in a matter of seconds, I was just behind them and saw the whole thing happen. Could'nt sleep for nights together, sometimes still get nightmares of the accident. From then on I'm promoting safe-biking amongst friends and relatives.

Whats happening these days....all threads are being directed towards crashes....someone is putting up threads with....."how many times have you crashed" and now "How many accidents have you witnessed" .. !!

Well at what speed did this accident happen.....i.e the speed of the bike and the truck....and would like to know how did the tank catch fire(it could help others as safety tips)...??

i think fuel leaked from the fuel tank and caught fire due to engine heat or something like that

ride safe!!

@haxor &dj_666 those are really bad accidents.

I myself am not a very experienced rider. I have seen where some people just had accidents a few minutes back but dont know how it happened.

I have met with only one very minor till no accident and that too because of my foolishness. I had pushed the front brakes completely because the car in front of me stopped suddenly on the innermost fast lane(I think the car stopped because the vehicle in front of it had to take a U-turn. The Brake lights on the car were not working and there was some sand on the road. I had only got some bruises on both my palms and bikes fairing had some small scratches.

thats why when my friends ask me that ''you ride so fast and swift ..why do you wear all the gears ''' and i tell them such stories ..

very unfortunate .. wether its 100M or 100000KM .. lets take a pledge of wearing safety gears and ride sensebly ..

I think "how many times you have crashed" thread and this thread should be merged...

[haxor]

I think "how many times you have crashed" thread and this thread should be merged...

friend both the topics have their own meaning.....

in this thread we get to know from others mistakes which taught us a valuable lesson(s) about ours and others safety and how one can loose their life in such accidents in which they are not solely responsible....

in that topic we discuss about the mistakes which we've/others have done
that topic is kinda funny...
but this topic is something different ..its serious...seriousness about our life ...about others life.

hope i made you understand what i meant to say

[torque_ankur]

^ Yep you are write but I kinda felt that both thread help us to be more careful and attentive while riding though these topics also covers accident that we witnessed. Anyways no issues I allow you to continue this thread

i stick to your words dude .. it should be merged ...
because for a funny topic we hav biking bloopers ..
but crashes and this one are same .. well almost

but i dont have any problem .. i am sure mods know better than us how to handle communitys

[pudix]

I think this thread is extremely important, though it would be nice if the person posting can relate his understanding of why the accident occured and what could have been done to prevent it. I'm sure there are a lots of kids on this forum and if they read the experience of some of the members, then they'll probably be saved from a potentially fatal mistake. Not only them, it should work for the senior members as well. No one is accident proof - though we can surely reduce the chances of one through sensible riding and protecting ourselves with gear.

yeah !!! kids like me anyways this topic is focussed on the after effects of any accident[fatal/minor] and what we have learnt from it...and what could have been done to prevent it....



OT- how many kids are here below 17-18??

In my 4 years of biking experience in UP the most important conclusion I have drawn is that biking isn't safe in India. If it's not the bloody bus/truck drivers that are going to crush you if you get in their way there are pariah dogs which don't seem to think twice before causing the worst crash of your life.Not to mention the 'big guns' in their Scorpios/Ambassadors/Safaris that overtake just inches from your handlebars.
Which leads me to Believe that the best thing you can do is play small,don't race,and only speed if you are on a proper highway.(and if no dogs are in a 100km radius).
