His father, Chandrasekar, who rode the bike also suffered injuries. The incident happened around 2.30 pm on Chenari Kuppam bridge when the father-son duo from Otteri was on their way to Poonamallee.

“A lorry running parallel to them came close to the bike and Chandrasekar came further on the left to avoid being hit by the lorry. As the bike came too close to the railing, Chandrasekar lost control over the vehicle. Sai Santhosh, who was riding pillion, was thrown off the flyover and he fell on the service road,” said police.

The accident brought traffic on the stretch to a halt for 45 minutes.
