A tragic accident occurred on National Highway 66 at Talur near Karwar on Saturday night, resulting in the loss of a 32-year-old man's life while seriously injuring his pillon rider friend.

The deceased motorcycle rider has been identified as Mohammed Samian Gangavali, a resident near Shifa Cross in Bhatkal. His injured friend is Tanveer Ahmed.
The friends were on a journey from Bhatkal to Karwar, traveling along NH 66, at approximately 11:30 pm on Saturday when an unexpected encounter with a wild animal forced Gangavali to make a split-second decision to avoid hitting the creature.

Both Gangavali and Ahmed sustained severe head injuries in the fall. Bystanders and fellow road users quickly rushed to their aid and transported them to a nearby hospital. Tragically, despite medical attention, Gangavali's injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
