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.

YouTubers What The Hales acquired the unit in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2019 and shared the discoveries with their friend Rob.
The Hales are experienced thrifters and showcased the video demonstrating how taking a risk at auctions can yield substantial rewards.
They made an incredible find since it was the last unit sold that day, which meant most competitors had either left or exhausted their funds.
Upon eagerly opening the unit, the Hales were left speechless by their surroundings.
In the center of the space was a stunning orange Dodge Charger, featuring a beautiful black interior and a dazzling finish.
The hood was already raised, leading the YouTubers to inspect it and discover a powerful Chrysler V8 Hemi engine inside.
However, the fortunate buyers were disheartened to find that the exquisite vehicle could not be retained.
“Everything in the unit is divided among us, aside from the car,” George Hales noted.
This was due to the muscle car being tied to a lien; thus, if it was abandoned by its owners, it had to be returned to the creditor.
Although this disappointing news cast a shadow over the buyers, their spirits quickly lifted at what they found behind the car.
Squeezing past the charger towards the back of the unit, the YouTubers stumbled upon a dust-covered Harley in remarkable condition.
Despite its layer of dirt, the vintage motorcycle appeared to have a fully functional engine and had only traveled 150 miles.
While it’s uncertain if it was operable, the Hales realized that the Harley brand is highly sought after, ensuring a potential profit.
They estimated the bike to be from the 1950s or 1960s, speculating that enthusiastic collectors could pay tens of thousands for it.
Valuable thrifting finds revealed
Here are some of the most remarkable thrift store discoveries:
Nevertheless, they were uncertain if it was a rare model, mentioning that they would require an expert for evaluation.
In addition to the motorcycle, the thrilled thrifters also found a car lift that they estimated could fetch them around $2,000.
They uncovered well-preserved film cameras along with a large auto shop sign that could attract antique enthusiasts.
Even though the YouTubers felt gloomy about parting with the Dodge Charger, they left their mark in the dust, scribbling “What The Hales was here.”
Motorcycle fans will be eager to know that new Harley-Davidson models are anticipated to be launched in 2026.
