18-year-old Surat vlogger ‘PKR Blogger’ dies in high-speed bike accident
An 18-year-old social media biker, known online as PKR Blogger, died in a horrific road accident in Surat after his KTM Duke motorcycle crashed while allegedly being ridden at a very high speed.
The vlogger, identified as Prince Patel, was descending the Great Liner Bridge when he reportedly lost control of the bike.
CCTV footage shows the motorcycle travelling at an estimated 140 kmph before skidding along the road and hitting the divider. Prince was thrown off the vehicle due to the impact.
Police said the teenager was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway.
Who was Prince Patel?
Prince was a popular figure among young biking enthusiasts on Instagram, where he frequently posted fast-riding videos and stylised photos of his KTM Duke 390.
According to his social media activity, he purchased the bike in September and named it “Laila”.
Just four days before the accident, he uploaded an emotional reel, referring to himself as “Majnu” and expressing his affection for his motorcycle through a dramatic monologue inspired by the Laila-Majnu folklore.
Prince’s mother reportedly lives in a shelter home and earns a living by selling milk. Police said they are in touch with the family and are coordinating further formalities.
