Guwahati, Jan 3: In a tragic incident, a renowned bodybuilder was killed in an accident due to low visibility owing to heavy fog in Assam’s Lakhimpur district on Tuesday.
The deceased have been identified as Siddhartha Borgohain, a well-known face in the state’s bodybuilding circle.
According to reports, the tragedy occurred at 4 am when the SUV (a Tata Harrier) driven by Borgohain, bearing registration number AS22G7525, lost control and skidded from NH-15 close to the railway overbridge at Bhogpur, near Narayanpur.
The accident reportedly occurred due to poor visibility and heavy fog.
Borgohain, who hails from Dhemaji, died on the spot while his co-passenger Pulakesh Gogoi was severely injured.
They were heading to Guwahati from Dhemaji.
“Due to heavy fog, (many) accidents happen during winter. We urge people to be cautious while driving during foggy winter,” said a police official.
