A 64-year-old biker was grievously injured after he was flung off the saddle on the VIP Road flyover and fell on the road 35ft below on Friday afternoon, police said.
Safiar Rahaman Mallick, a resident of Kaikhali, was thrown off the motorcycle after it rammed into a guard rail along the parapet of the overbridge.
Mallick was spotted by passing motorists and shopkeepers near the Baguiati bus stand, an officer of the Baguiati traffic guard said.
They informed traffic policemen posted nearby who took the man to a private hospital off VIP Road.
According to a doctor of the hospital, Mallick is admitted to the ICU as he has suffered a haemorrhage in his brain.
The incident happened on the airport-bound flank of the flyover. While Mallick fell off the flyover, his motorcycle remained on the flyover and another police team recovered it.
An officer of the Bidhannagar commissionerate’s traffic wing said there was a mark where Mallick’s bike hit the parapet of the flyover. “The cause of the accident is still not clear,” said the officer. A helmet lay near the spot where Mallick fell.
