ಚುನಾವಣಾ ಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮುಗಿಸಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ವೇಳೆ ಯಲ್ಲಾಪುರ-ಶಿರಸಿ ಮಾರ್ಗ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ದುರಾದೃಷ್ಟವಶಾತ್ ಬೈಕ್ ಸವಾರನಿಗೆ ಅಪಘಾತವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ರಸ್ತೆ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿ ನೋವಿನಿಂದ ನರಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಯಾರು ಸಹಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
