Bhagalpur : A road accident in the Lodipur police station area left a watchman’s motorcycle badly damaged near the Jichho Durga Sthan Temple. According to the available information, the watchman was travelling on his motorcycle when another motorcyclist collided with his vehicle. The impact was reportedly strong enough to completely damage the front portion of the watchman’s motorcycle.
The accident briefly created confusion at the spot. Local residents who witnessed the incident helped move the damaged motorcycles to the side of the road and tried to calm the situation.
Front Portion of Motorcycle Severely Damaged
According to preliminary information, the accident occurred near the Jichho Durga Sthan Temple when another motorcycle collided with the watchman’s bike. The front section of the vehicle sustained significant damage.
Following the accident, the watchman reportedly asked the other motorcyclist to bear the cost of repairing the damaged vehicle. Discussions between the two sides followed the incident.
Dispute Over Repair Expenses
The watchman demanded that the other rider arrange for the damaged motorcycle to be repaired. However, the other rider allegedly refused to accept responsibility for the repair costs, leading to a disagreement between the two sides.
The watchman reportedly maintained that the accident occurred because of the other rider’s actions and that his motorcycle had suffered substantial damage. He therefore sought reimbursement for the repair expenses.
Local Residents Try to Defuse Situation
A number of people gathered at the scene following the accident. As the disagreement between the two sides appeared likely to escalate, local residents intervened and attempted to calm both parties.
Residents advised the individuals involved to discuss the matter and try to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
Local people also said that motorists should exercise extra caution while travelling on busy roads. Even a moment of negligence can result in an accident, damage to vehicles and potentially serious consequences for people on the road.
Police Action May Follow
If the incident is reported to the police, the authorities may examine the circumstances of the accident and record statements from both sides. The condition of the vehicles and the accident site may also be considered during any inquiry.
At present, the primary dispute is reportedly related to who should bear the motorcycle’s repair expenses. If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, the matter could be taken to the police or resolved through the appropriate legal process.
Appeal for Caution Among Motorists
Local residents appealed to motorists to follow traffic rules and maintain a safe speed. Extra caution is particularly important around temples, residential areas and other locations with significant pedestrian movement.
The damage to the watchman’s motorcycle has also left him facing the additional burden of repair expenses. Whether the matter is resolved through mutual agreement or leads to police action will become clear later.
