Student from our college loses his life in freak bike accident. - Team-BHP

sajo · 4th January 2006, 11:44

A student from our college lost his life today morning while on his way. I am not fully aware of all the details, but I heard that he was struck while riding by a loose wire on the road. It was really a sad thing to happen, and may his soul rest in peace.

PS : I think that guy was a well known Xbhp/RSA member.

Can we call ourselves civilized when such negligence like a lose wire can kill a young human being. How many times have we driven over or side of an invisible killer pothole and thanked God that we did not land into it and then just drive on? How many times have we gone over long sharp nails and thanked God that we missed that puncture and then just driven on? If a difference can be made on our roads today it lies on us and us alone.
May his soul rest in peace

Thats right, he's part of xBhp and RSA. His name is Maitreya aka Mats. This news shocked me like hell. All i can say now is, may his soul rest in peace.

The road on which this happened (and the one which I use everyday), has lots of electricity poles bang in the middle of the road. Apparently, he got entangled in of the supporting wires of the pole. Someone should really do something about those poles. Once while I was returning at night I almost crashed into one of them. Its unfortunate that negligence on the part of civic planners snuffed out a young life today.

ok this is what i have heard :
this guy was racing with some 2 bikers on that road and the crash took place at some 70-80 KMPH and hence fatal.

If this racing bit is true, what can i say ?? if we are blaming MSEB people for those tie cables for electricity poles, what about road racing then ?? who should be blamed ??

may his soul rest in peace...

Maybe he was going fast. But the poles in the midst (and the wires hanging out from them) could be dangerous for anyone. They were fatal in this case, but could cause injury in others no? But I agree, Vadgaon is the last place one should rip his(her?) vehicle. The sparse traffic and compartively wide roads may appear tempting, but anything can pop up from anywhere.
Do you know the other two guys? Were they Xbhp members too?

me too on the bridge of my nose, 5 years ago
no serious injuries except for a mark that still exists...

that is a bad news

what hkanitkar said is true then main fault goes to all three of them racing
that sinhagad road after Rajaram bridge (towards collage) is one bad peice of road

besides as sajo said if he was from Sinhagad collage then he must have been well known with roads, those poles are there since ages
negligence kills
