A 52-year-old man was left in a critical condition after some dry tree branches fell on his head while he was riding a motorcycle in Bengaluru. The blunt impact apparently caused him to lose consciousness instantly and crash onto the road with the two-wheeler.

The incident took place on Wednesday evening. The entire incident was captured on CCTV. The man, named Satish, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which likely contributed to the severity of his head injuries.

As he fell on the road, bystanders rushed to help him.

He is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital. Given the severity of his head injuries, doctors performed surgery on him. Despite the operation, his condition continues to be critical, and he is said to be battling for his life.

Locals have blamed the accident on the forest department and civic authorities, alleging that multiple complaints had been made about the tree whose branches snapped and fell on Satish.

They claimed that they had repeatedly sought the clipping of the dry branches. However, no action was taken, the residents alleged.
