"The convoy participants were believed to have tried to avoid the traffic congestion, but the slope factor and the size of their machines had probably caused them to brush against each other, skid and catch fire," he said here Sunday. He said there were three motorcycles involved in the incident, with two of the riders sustained severe injuries after being thrown onto the road, while the other one was burnt to death after his machine caught fire. Ali said in a matter of seconds, another motorcycle brushed against two cars, causing the rider to be thrown onto the road and hit by an incoming car. The rider died at the scene, he said.
