In the second fatal accident in the last five days, a 19-year-old lost his life on JJ Flyover on Wednesday. The teenager was on his bike helmetless when he lost control and rammed into a car. The previous such incident was on June 9, when a 26-year-old biker lost his life. The traffic police are now planning to step up surveillance on the flyover to curb such incidents.

The four casualties
On Wednesday around 11.20 pm, two youths were on their way to South Mumbai, when the rider lost control over the bike and jumped the divider, ramming into a car coming from the opposite side. The two youths were flung into the air along with the bike, sustaining grievous injuries. Two other youths behind the victims also got hurt after being unable to control the speed of their two-wheeler due to the sudden accident, and received minor injuries.
