Delhi: 24-year-old dies as bike crashes into divider on Outer Ring Road

Police said the victim was holding a helmet in his left hand when he lost control of the two-wheeler. DCP (North) Nupur Prasad said, “A passing PCR vehicle took Gehlot to Sushruta Trauma Centre in Civil Lines, where he was declared dead on arrival. His cousin said Gehlot had lost balance and hit the divider.”

An eyewitness, Ali Ahmed (50), said he called the police after witnessing the crash.

“He (Gehlot) was ahead of my car and his bike suddenly crashed into the divider… We stopped the car and went to help him. He was bleeding profusely from the back of his head,” Ahmed said. He said he could not recall if Gehlot was wearing a helmet, but remembers it flying in the air after the crash.

He added that the road was blocked with traffic and that Kumar hailed an autorickshaw to take Gehlot to a hospital before they came across a PCR van a few metres down the road.
