The first long ride on his recently purchased superbike turned fatal for a 28-year-old superbike enthusiast and commercial pilot when he was crushed under a speeding trailer at Vasai Naka in Palghar on Sunday morning.

Varun Bamrotia-Ahir, a resident of Bhayander, had recently purchased a BMW GS and was excited about his first ride which unfortunately became his last.

According to eyewitnesses and fellow bike riders, the incident took place around 7 am when Bamrotia was riding a bike on the right lane of Ahmedabad highway when near Vasai Naka, a speeding trailer coming from behind him took a sharp right turn and ran over Bamrotia. Bamrotia was totally crushed under the trailer and died on the spot. The trailer driver stopped his trailer at a distance and fled the scene. A case has been registered in Waliv Police Station in Palghar district.

"We are a group of 10 to 15 riders who go for bike rides from Thane to Manor every Sunday morning. We usually go around 6 am and return by around 9.30 am. This Sunday too we had gone around a similar time when the mishap took place. Bamrotia was an excellent rider and this incident has shocked and saddened all of us. We take all safety precautions during our rides," said Gunwant Kadam a fellow bike rider and friend of Bamrotia.

Bamroita was a licensed pilot and was interviewing with airlines for a job. He is survived by his elder brother and father.

"We have registered a case against the trailer driver and have seized the trailer. The driver is still at large and he must have fled fearing public outrage after the accident. We are trying to trace him," said Bharat Devre, a police officer from Waliv Police station.
