The vehicle, which lost control, rammed into the median on the Bypass Road, near Mylathu temple. He was thrown out of the bike and hit a tree on the road side. Under the impact of the collision, one part of the bike flew off and fell on the wind shield of a jeep heading from the opposite direction. Soon, local people gathered and rushed the injured to a private hospital where he was declared dead.
