New Bike, Speed, Tragedy: Youth Killed in Crash
25 Feb
Summary
- Two young men died after crashing a new Royal Enfield into a tree.
- All three riders on the motorcycle were not wearing helmets.
- The motorcycle was reportedly traveling at over 130 kmph.
Two young men lost their lives in a tragic motorcycle accident on Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Road in Yelahanka, Bengaluru, late Tuesday. Yeshwanth S, 24, and Kiran Devaramuni, 25, died, while Gautham K, 28, sustained injuries. The three friends, who shared a house and worked as contract laborers at BEL, were riding a Royal Enfield GT 650, purchased just a week prior by Yeshwanth.
Eyewitness accounts suggest the motorcycle was traveling at an excessive speed, reportedly over 130 kmph. After encountering a speed breaker near Veer Savarkar flyover, the rider lost control, veering off the road and colliding with a tree. Tragically, neither Yeshwanth nor Kiran, who was seated in the middle, were wearing helmets, resulting in severe head injuries. Gautham, though injured, is reported to be out of danger.
