A 61-year-old man died of injuries sustained in an accident on Addu City’s link road last night – the fifth fatality in a motorcycle accident in the southernmost atoll this year.
Local media has identified the victim as Ibrahim Kalo, from the Penrith house in Hithadhoo. The security guard was driving to work when his motorcycle collided with a speeding motorcycle around 10:00pm.
Ibrahim was reportedly wearing a helmet, but it fell off after the collision. He sustained severe head injuries and was pronounced upon arrival at the regional hospital.
A 20-year-old man on the other motorcycle was also injured, a police media official told The Maldives Independent, but the injuries were not life-threatening.
