Mangalore, Apr 4: Amrit Mendonca (24), a college student from Kinnigoli in the district, lost his life in an accident that occurred at the KPT Junction in Kadri in the city on Sunday April 3 afternoon.

The ill-fated youth was travelling on the pillion of a motor cycle at the time of the accident.

Amrit was travelling as the pillion rider of a motor cycle driven by his friend, Sandeep. The two-wheeler they were in, was moving towards Kuntikan from KPT Junction.

Reportedly, the Kinetic vehicle moving in front of this motor cycle unexpectedly turned to the right. Sandeep was taken unawares, and the vehicle he was driving, hit the Kinetic from behind. Amrit, jolted by this sudden turn of events, fell to the road, and the wheels of a truck coming from the behind crushed his head in an instant.

Amrit breathed his last on the spot. The Kinetic rider escaped from the scene, without even stopping his vehicle. Sandeep escaped with minor nicks and cuts.

A case was registered in traffic (east) police station here.
