The preliminary investigation indicates that Prince was not wearing a helmet during the accident.

Surat:

A tragic incident occurred in Gujarat's Surat where an 18-year-old vlogger known as 'PKR Blogger' lost his life in a horrific road accident while riding his KTM Duke motorcycle at an allegedly high speed. The social media influencer, Prince Patel, was decapitated in the crash.

The accident was captured on CCTV footage showing Prince reportedly riding at approximately 140 kilometers per hour while descending the Great Liner Bridge, a multi-level flyover. The young biker apparently lost control and fell onto the road, while his motorcycle continued to drag along the divider before coming to a stop several hundred meters away from where Prince landed.

The footage shows Prince tumbling multiple times after falling from the bike before finally stopping. The impact was so tremendous that his head was severed from his body.

Initial investigation reveals that Prince was riding without a helmet at the time of the fatal accident.

Reports indicate that Prince's mother resides in a shelter and earns her livelihood by selling milk.

Police have registered a case and are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the accident.

Who Was Prince Patel? The teenager had gained popularity among young viewers for his biking reels and high-speed riding content across social media platforms. His Instagram profile showcased his passion for his KTM Duke 390, a motorcycle which, according to his social media activity, he had purchased in September.

The young biker frequently shared stylized images and videos featuring his motorcycle. He had affectionately named his KTM 'Laila'.

Just four days before the accident, Prince had shared a video expressing his enduring love for 'Laila' even beyond death. Referring to himself as 'Majnu', Prince shared a tale of separation through death while maintaining unwavering love for his beloved possession—his vehicle.

"Jab tak Majnu zinda tha, use is duniya me Laila se khoobsurat koi laga hi nahi. Lekin ab wo us jahan me hai jaha pe hoor or pariya bhi rehti hai lekin waha jaa kar bhi use Laila se zaada haseen koi lag hi nahi rahi (When Majnu was alive, he never found anyone more beautiful than Laila. Now Majnu is in a world where there are fairies, but even there, he can't find anyone more beautiful than Laila)," he voiced in the video.

The video concluded with a popular song from the Bollywood movie Laila Majnu, symbolizing his deep attachment to his motorcycle.
