KOLKATA: A 21-year-old pillion rider — a final-year student of a private engineering college at Anandapur — died and the biker, his classmate, was injured when their two-wheeler hit the guard wall of the AJC Bose Road Flyover-Maa Flyover connector in the wee hours of Friday. The accident happened on Victoria Memorial-bound flank of the flyover. Incidentally, no bikes are allowed on the Maa or AJC Bose Road flyovers after 10pm.
One of the students, Subham Kumar, fell 40 feet down near the Nasiruddin Road-Circus Avenue crossing while the biker, Ankit Kumar, was lying on the flyover with serious injuries. Both of them, who hail from Bihar, were rushed to SSKM Hospital where Subham was declared dead.
