Based on context and the mention of a rider, I think this was a motorcycle accident.
Having been to Bengaluru (or Bengalore as is more common in English), the roads do suck, a lot.
The bigger problem for this community (IMO), though, is the general absence of sidewalks. I tried walking to a restaurant ~1km from my hotel and needed to walk on the road the whole time, dodging cars and motorcycles (and those three wheeled things that are like cars).
