A woman died while her husband was injured seriously when the motorcycle, on which they were riding, fell in river Kudara from a bridge near Lahurbari village under Mohania police station in Bihar’s Kaimur district.
Mohani Deputy Superintendent of Police Manoj Ram said the incident occurred when Musafir Pandey, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Chandauli district, was going to his relative’s house in Kaimur district along with his wife Sharma Devi.
Sharma Devi died on the spot while his husband Musafir Pandey sustained serious injuries in the incident, the officer said adding Pandey has been referred to Varanasi for better treatment after administering first-aid.
The incident occurred when Pandey tried to evade a ditch and lost control over the bike that fell into river Kudara from the bridge without any railings on NH 30 near Lahurbari village of the district, he said.
Local residents blocked the NH 30 for two hours in protest against the incident, which was lifted after intervention from senior officials, Ram said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem to the sadar hospital at Bhabhua.
