Belthangady: 25-year-old rider injured in head, dies as bike skids, falls on road to Dharmasthala
Belthangady: A young man, aged 25 years old, died as he lost control over the motorbike that he was riding on and the bike fell on the road near Kalmanja Nidigal, late Thursday night.
The deceased has been identified as Mithun Karkera, a resident of Mundrupadi in Dharmasthala village, who worked as a private bus and auto driver. He is survived by his parents and sister.
Karkera was reportedly riding home from Mangaluru after attending a programme on Thursday when the accident occurred. As Karkera lost control over the bike near Kalmanja Nidigal, the two-wheeler skidded and fell on the road.
Finding that the youngster had suffered serious head injuries, the locals immediately took him to a private hospital in Ujire. Karkera, however, could not respond to the treatment and died in the hospital.
