According to residents, Shrihari lost control of his motorcycle after it skidded on a muddy stretch of the road. The poor lighting on the stretch reportedly made visibility difficult at the time of the accident.

A truck travelling from the opposite direction was reportedly unable to avoid the rider, resulting in a fatal collision. Shrihari sustained serious injuries and died in the accident.
