KOZHIKODE: A young man was killed in a bike accident while travelling to his workplace. The deceased has been identified as Abhin Krishnan (22), son of Kozhikode Peruvayal native Krishnankutty. The accident occurred near Peruvayal at around 9 am this morning while Abhin was on his way to work.

There was a pit near the road as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission. As the auto-rickshaw ahead suddenly braked near the pit, Abhin, who was following on his bike, also applied the brakes but lost control and fell on the road. At the same time, a bike coming from the opposite direction hit Abhin's head, leading to his death. Abhin passed away on the spot. His mother is Bindu.
