An 18-year-old video blogger from Surat, known online as PKR Blogger, died in a tragic road accident while riding his KTM Duke motorcycle at an extremely high speed. The blogger, identified as Prince Patel, was reportedly riding on the Great Liner Bridge when the accident occurred. CCTV footage from the scene showed the driver traveling at a speed of about 140 kilometers per hour before losing control.
Prince fell off the bike and rolled onto the road several times, the impact so brutal that he was decapitated. His bike continued along the barrier and stopped a few hundred meters away.
Initial reports indicate that Prince was not wearing a helmet at the time. The police registered a case and started investigation. The situation of Prince’s family also came to light, as reports stated that his mother lives in a shelter and earns from selling milk.
Prince’s online personality and his love for his bike
Prince built a following among teens for his fast-riding videos and vlogs featuring his KTM Duke 390 bike. He often posted stylized photos and reels with the bike, which he dubbed “Layla.”
According to his social media posts, he bought the motorcycle just a few months ago.
Just four days before the accident, he uploaded an emotional clip comparing himself to “Majnun” and the bike to “Laila.”
He narrated in the video: “When Majnou was alive, no one looked more beautiful than Laila in this world, but now she is among us, even though she is alive, no one looks more beautiful than Laila.”
The clip ended with a song from the movie Laila Majnou, reflecting his deep love for the bike.

Many social media users said the reel seemed like a strange harbinger of collapse. One user commented, “Maybe our brother knew his death had passed by now… Rest in peace.”
Another wrote: “You to satch ho gaya.” Many users expressed their disbelief and sadness, writing messages like “I miss you bro”, “Om Shanti” and “Reel has come true”.
The caption read: “Ab Majnu has arrived in Laila ke Bas.” Another added: “Aur Laila jaan bhi le.”
