“A black motorcycle with an unregistered number plate had a fatal accident, claiming the rider’s life, while the other person was severely injured.

“The accident was caused by speed violations and disobedience to safety regulations, but the deceased person has been deposited in the morgue while the other person has been taken to an undisclosed hospital,” said the FRSC statement.
