CCTV footage of the incident reveals that the car veered out of control while making a sharp turn, striking a grassy road divider before colliding with the stationary motorcyclist. The impact caused the motorcyclist to be thrown into the air, and he hit the car before landing on the ground.

The vehicle also struck a tree before coming to a halt on the pavement. The victim, a local man, was initially treated at Hulhumale’ Hospital before being transferred to Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) in Male City. He subsequently received treatment abroad.
