Two teenagers lost their lives in a heartbreaking road accident on the Devanahalli-Kolar highway in Bengaluru Rural on Friday morning. The boys, named Arbaz Pasha (18) and N Manoj (16), were riding a scooter when they crashed into a canter truck.
Pasha, who had just turned 18, borrowed a Honda Dio scooter from his neighbor in Rahmat Nagar, Vijayapura. He brought along his friend Manoj from Gurappana Mutt for a joyride. Around 11 am, Pasha started doing stunts on the scooter, trying to ride on one wheel near the town’s bypass in Doddaballapur.
Sadly, the fun turned to tragedy when a truck showed up in front of them. Pasha lost control of the scooter and hit the truck head-on. The crash was so powerful that the scooter broke into two pieces, and both boys were thrown about 30 meters away from the accident site. Pasha died on the spot, while Manoj was taken to a private hospital but sadly passed away from his injuries before getting treated.
Police shared that neither of the boys was wearing helmets during the ride. CCTV footage from nearby shops captured the awful moment of the crash. So far, investigators believe the boys’ reckless riding was a cause of the accident, although they are also looking into what the truck driver was doing. The Vijayapura police have filed charges against Pasha for dangerous driving, and investigations are still ongoing.
