PONDA: Prashant Ghadi, 25, who was critically injured in a car-bike collision at Usgao on Monday evening, succumbed at the Goa Medical College (GMC) on Wednesday. A resident of Tisk Valley - Usgao and native of Khanapur, Ghadi's final rites were performed at his native place in Karnataka.
The accident occurred when Ghadi's bike collided head-on with a car. The impact flung him several metres into the air before he landed on the road. The force of the collision was so severe that his helmet shattered, and his bike was extensively damaged.

Police are currently investigating the case. Locals report that this stretch of road is accident-prone, with three accidents occurring in the past six months.
