Friends on Harley-Davidson Bike En Route to Gym Tragic Fatal Car Crash in Hyderabad

Harley Davidson Crash Claims Lives of Two in Hyderabad (Canva)

Secunderabad: An incident in Secunderabad resulted in the tragic deaths of a 17-year-old boy and his 21-year-old companion after their high-end Harley Davidson motorcycle, operated by a minor, collided with a car early Wednesday morning. The accident took place near Patny crossroads at approximately 4:40 am.

According to a report by TOI, the young rider and his friend had just completed a night shift at the pest control agency they had recently joined. They were reportedly on their way to the gym, part of their regular routine, as confirmed by their families.

The employer had entrusted them with the Harley Davidson on Tuesday, requesting its return the next day. Tragically, they did not get the chance to do so.

Crash on the Main Road

As per police reports, the pair entered the main road from a side lane when their motorcycle hit a car. The rider died instantly, while his friend, who was critically injured, was taken to a hospital by bystanders. Unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries.

Mahankali Station House Officer K Parashuram noted that the car driver, Medari Kurmaiah, was on his way to pick up a customer from a hotel for an airport transfer. Initial investigations indicated that Kurmaiah was driving at high speed; however, a subsequent test showed he was not intoxicated.

Following a complaint from the father of Harishith, the police have filed a case against Kurmaiah and have detained him. “Further investigations are ongoing,” officials stated.

Westminster, Md (KM) A man from Baltimore has been charged in relation to a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred in Taneytown last year. On Thursday, February 27, 2025, Darius Deontae Bond, 19, was indicted by the Carroll County Grand Jury on charges of hit and run resulting in death, theft between $25,000 and $100,000, and driving without a license. The first two charges are classified as felonies, while the third is a misdemeanor.

On August 20, 2024, at approximately 4:30 AM, emergency services were summoned to the 2700 block of Francis Scott Key Highway due to a vehicle crash. Upon their arrival, first responders discovered an abandoned black Infiniti QX60 SUV, which had been reported stolen from Baltimore. According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the Infiniti had collided with a yellow Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Terry Crowl, 55, of Taneytown, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators found that the two people inside the SUV had fled the scene on foot. Additionally, they discovered that a white box truck had been stolen during the night from a residence near the accident site.

“Following thorough interviews, forensic examination, and DNA evidence collected from the scene, Darius Deontae Bond was identified as the driver of the vehicle that struck and killed Terry Crowl,” stated Carroll County Sheriff Jim Dewees during a press briefing on Tuesday to inform the public about the case.

Carroll County State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker, present at the press conference, mentioned that a warrant had been issued by the Circuit Court in Carroll County, leading to Bond’s transfer from Frederick County on Monday. He is currently held without bond.

“In our judicial system, individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Shoemaker emphasized. “However, we are confident that we have a remarkably strong case.”

Jim Staller, a relative of victim Terry Crowl, also spoke at the news conference, expressing frustration: “Experiencing a tragic event like this leads one to feel an immense sense of frustration. Dealing with a system that appears to favor criminals is extremely disheartening,” he remarked.

A second individual who was in the SUV with Bond at the time of the fatal incident has not yet been charged, according to Sheriff Dewees.

IPCA: Police Should Have Avoided Pursuit of Speeding Motorcyclist Prior to Fatal Crash

IPCA: Police Should Have Avoided Pursuit of Speeding Motorcyclist Prior to Fatal Crash

The Independent Police Conduct Authority has determined that law enforcement should not have pursued a speeding motorcyclist in Whakatāne before it resulted in a fatal accident.

An officer detected the Harley Davidson motorcycle traveling at 115 km/h in a 60 km/h zone shortly before 6 PM on March 16 this year.

When the motorcyclist failed to stop as directed, continuing on State Highway 30 towards Awakeri, the officer initiated a pursuit with lights and sirens, reaching speeds between 140 and 160 km/h.

After 5 km, the pursuit was called off; however, just a kilometer later, the motorcycle attempted to overtake a car on a curve and collided head-on with an oncoming vehicle.

The police oversight body found that while the officer was justified in signaling for the motorcyclist to stop, they did not adequately adhere to the policy regarding pursuing fleeing drivers by commencing the chase.

The report indicated that the officer should have refrained from pursuing the motorcycle, especially considering the dangers associated with high-speed chases, and should have terminated the pursuit sooner.

The authority refrained from concluding that the officer’s actions caused the motorcyclist’s death. “Based on the evidence available, the authority could not determine that the officer’s actions led to the motorcyclist’s fatal crash.”

Since the existing policy on fleeing drivers does not explicitly address motorcycles prior to initiating a chase, the authority recommended it be revised to emphasize the risks inherent in pursuing a motorcycle and stated that such actions should only be undertaken in “the most extreme circumstances.”

The police acknowledged the authority’s findings.

Superintendent Tim Anderson, the Bay of Plenty district commander, conveyed his sympathies to the deceased man’s family, asserting that the officer made a sound decision by attempting to stop the motorcycle and was striving to perform their duties effectively.

“The officer signaled for the motorcyclist to halt due to the excessive speed, which posed a significant risk not only to the rider but to all law-abiding road users,” Anderson explained.

“The officer acted correctly in this situation and was justified in attempting to halt the motorcyclist, who was traveling at nearly twice the speed limit when first observed by the officer.”

Superintendent Steven Greally, Director of Road Policing, stated that the recommendations concerning the fleeing driver policy would be taken into account during its next revision.
