Migrant worker on two-wheeler hits speed breaker, dies of head injuries

PUNE: Ninety minutes into the brand new year and on the day the Pune police rolled out strict enforcement of helmets for two-wheeler riders, a early life driving with out the headgear died of severe head injuries in an twist of fate.




Bhagwat Ramdas Dombe (25) failed to identify a pace breaker and hit it at top pace. When he fell off it, his head hit the footpath alongside the street at Kale Chowk near Padmavati.

Dombe was once an office boy running in a showroom. “Unfortunately, he was once now not dressed in a helmet at the time of the twist of fate,” B S Gurav, sub-inspector of Sahakarnagar police, mentioned.

In 2018, some 146 two-wheeler riders or pillion riders have been killed in accidents across Pune. Only two have been discovered to be dressed in helmets.

“The twist of fate passed off around 1.30am when Dombe was once heading against Padmavati from Sahakarnagar. There is a pace breaker just sooner than Kale Chowk. Dombe, who was once driving at top pace, did not see it. His bike was once flung into the air and he fell onerous on the footpath alongside the street. The vehicle stopped after skidding for almost 80feet,” Gurav mentioned.

Studies indicate that motorcyclists are 26 occasions more likely to die in a crash than the drivers of cars. Wearing a suitable helmet improves probabilities of survival by way of 42% and helps steer clear of 69% of injuries to riders.

Dombe’s head hit the footpath and he misplaced awareness. Upon listening to the loud sound, local residents accumulated at the spot. “They in an instant rushed Dombe to Sassoon General Hospital, where Dombe succumbed to his injuries around 5.30am,” Gurav mentioned.


He had migrated to Pune from Kanad village in Parbhani four years in the past with his folks, elder brother and sister-in-law. The family lived in near Mahesh Society in Bibvewadi.


When contacted, Munjabhau Dombe, sarpanch of Kanad village informed TOI that Dombe was once running as an office boy at a showroom in Pune. His brother too works in a non-public firm, whilst the father worked as a watchman.


“Bhagwat was once a excellent particular person and useful,” Munjabhau Dombe mentioned. Though he had left the village, he saved involved with his friends and relations. His last rites have been performed in Kanad on January 1.
