As a goods train was passing through an unmanned level crossing on the road, he tried to stop the bicycle but its brakes failed.

As a result, the bicycle hit a wagon of the goods train and went under it along with the rider. Alert locals pulled him out but by that time, both his legs were crushed by the moving wagons.

With heavy bleeding, he was immediately rushed to the District Hospital, but in vain.
