Udupi, Nov 29: A head-on collision between an Eicher tempo and an M 80 scooter at Subhashnagar of Kurkal here resulted in the death of the scooter rider while the pillion rider was seriously injured.

The deceased has been identified as Valerian Castelino (40) and the injured pillion rider Christopher Karkada (48).

The tempo was plying from Udupi to Shirva and the M 80 scooter was on its way from Shankarpura to Kurkal. The accident occurred at Subhashnagar between Katpady and Shirva.  The scooter was completely damaged due to the impact and the riders who got thrown to the road were critically injured.  They were rushed to the Manipal hospital. Valerian passed away in the hospital.

Christy alias Christopher who was working as an electirician for Anil D’ Sa was given leave on Thursday afternoon after continuous work for two days.  Christy who was waiting for the bus was spotted by his friend Valerian, who was going to the hospital to see his wife who was in the hospital for delivery. Valerian offered to drop Christy at his house and took him in the scooter.

Valerian Castelino was employed abroad and had come home a few months ago.  He was to go back on November 28 on a new visa but postponed his journey as his wife gave birth to a child just four days ago.

Both Valerian and Christopher belong to poor families. Valerian has left behind his wife and two children. The injured Christopher has a wife, a son and a daughter.
 
The locals struggled to save the lives of the duo.  They were initially puzzled over what to do but eventually took one in the ambulance and the other in an auto rikshaw to the hospital.

Shirva police arrived at the spot, registered a case and are investigating.

    Think thousand times before buying 2wheeler motor run vehicles. Survival is very less because of its open exposure. May the deceased soul rest in peace.

    It's a Destiny but so sad, poor wife, how she will bear the loss of the Breadwinner and the children. But God can change their life and he will comfort them, so we will be praying for the departed Soul of Mr.Valerian and let his Soul rest in peace, also will pray for his family, especially his wife and children, also to his family members, and friends to get peace and strength to bear the loss of their very loved one. Lord, Heavenly Father, Bless Mr.Valerian's, whole family and give them strength to bear the loss of their loved one.Amen
