How it happened
As Kumar approached Gate No. 5 of the park, Kumar’s bike climbed on some object on the road. Just then, he lost control over his vehicle and rammed into a Honda Activa in front of him. He then fell onto a divider and sustained critical head injuries, an NDTV report said.
The Activa fell on the right side of the road, hitting another motorcycle, a Kawasaki Ninja, which was in the high-speed lane. When the crash took place, the rider of the Ninja, was adjusting his 360-degree action camera mounted on the motorcycle’s mirror, which also captured the accident.
The bike was moving at a speed of almost 90 kmph. It hit the divider, but the rider managed to keep control and remain on the two-wheeler.
In the video, another biker can be seen riding alongside the Ninja, who also went down after coming in contact with the Activa.
Kumar was the son of an engineer employed in the Uttar Pradesh electricity department. Despite being taken to the hospital immediately, the doctors there declared him dead. Kumar was only wearing a shirt, jeans, and a helmet. He was not wearing any protective gear.
The rider of the Active and another biker, identified as Aditya Srivastava and Krishna Singh, sustained minor injuries. Kumar’s family didn’t get post-mortem done and travelled to their ancestral village in Barabanki for his last rites.
Police said it will take action after scanning the CCTV footage and ascertaining the exact cause of the crash.
