Lucknow, March 16: A horrific road accident caught on camera in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow claimed the life of a 17-year-old Class 12 student on Sunday after he lost control of his high-powered bike during a street race and crashed into a scooter.

The victim, identified as Naitik Kumar, was riding a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 with a group of bikers towards Janeshwar Mishra Park. As he approached Gate No. 5, Kumar reportedly hopped over an object on the road, lost control of the motorcycle and rammed into a Honda Activa ahead of him.

The impact threw Kumar onto a divider, leaving him with severe head injuries. The Activa skidded to the right side of the road and collided with another bike, a Kawasaki Ninja, which was moving in the high-speed lane. Accident Caught on Camera in Srikakulam: 1 Dead, 12 Others Injured After Speeding Car Rams Auto on NH16; Disturbing Video Surfaces.
