A youth has died after being hit by a stray bull on the Bhavnagar-Somnath National Highway. According to a report by Sandesh, this tragic incident occurred near Bhadrod village close to Mahuva, where a stray bull collided with youths passing on a bike.
According to accident details, the incident took place four days ago. A youth named Rakesh Gohil had gone from Bhavnagar on a bike to drop his friend and family at Kandhi village near Una. After safely dropping the family, he was returning to Bhavnagar on a bike with his friend Rakesh Vaghela. During this, their bike had a heavy collision with a stray bull that suddenly rushed onto the National Highway near Bhadrod.
CCTV footage of this accident has also surfaced, in which it can be seen that the motorcyclist is thrown to the ground immediately upon being hit by the bull. Rakesh Gohil died at the spot due to serious injuries sustained in the accident. Rakesh Vaghela, who was sitting on the pillion, also sustained injuries and was immediately moved to a hospital for treatment, where he is currently undergoing medical care.
Frequent accidents occur on the Bhavnagar-Somnath National Highway due to stray cattle, resulting in the loss of innocent motorists' lives. There is significant anger among local residents and motorists regarding this matter, as no concrete action is being taken by the National Highway Authority and the local administration to resolve this issue.
