According to eyewitness accounts, Almeida was riding from Arpora towards Anjuna when he encountered two bulls locked in a fight in the middle of the road.
The animals suddenly rammed into his moving two-wheeler, causing him to lose control.
His vehicle then crashed into a car coming from the opposite direction.

He was rushed to the district hospital in Mapusa by a 108 ambulance, but succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
On being alerted, Anjuna police visited the accident site and carried out a panchanama.
