A 52-year-old biker suffered critical head injuries and slipped into a coma after a dry tree branch fell on him while he was riding along Ram Mandir Road in Bengaluru's Rajajinagar area.
The victim, identified as Satish, was on his way to work when a branch suddenly broke off and struck him on the head. CCTV footage showed Satish riding without a helmet at the time of the incident.
The impact caused him to lose control of his two-wheeler and collapse on the road.
Local residents immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital. He was later shifted to Manipal Hospital in Yeshwanthpur for advanced treatment.
Doctors performed an emergency surgery on Satish, who had initially slipped into a coma and is said to be now recovering.
