A 45-year-old scooter rider from Mapusa died in a tragic road accident near Asma Bar in Chicalim late Friday evening, after his two-wheeler crashed into a parked concrete pumping machine.
The deceased has been identified as Shivdas Vengurlekar, a resident of Mapusa.
According to Vasco Police, Vengurlekar was riding his Honda Activa scooter from Cortalim towards Vasco city when he rammed into a concrete pumping machine that was attached to a Tata Turbo goods carrier parked on the left side of the road, near the Chicalim Post Office.
The impact of the collision caused Vengurlekar to suffer severe bodily injuries. He was immediately shifted to Sub District Hospital (SDH) Chicalim by a 108 ambulance, but was declared brought dead at the hospital.
Upon receiving the information from the Casualty Police at SDH Chicalim, a team from Vasco Police led by PSI Plato Carvalho visited the hospital and conducted an inquest panchanama of the body. The deceased body was then sent for post-mortem examination.
The police surgeon who conducted the autopsy certified the cause of death as “damage to chest, abdomen and spine consequent to blunt force impact.” The body was later handed over to the family members for final rites.
Vasco Police have registered a case of unnatural death under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). PSI Plato Carvalho is investigating under the supervision of PI Vaibhav Naik and guidance of Mormugao DySP Gurudas Kadam.
