Surat: An 18-year-old vlogger from Surat, known online as PKR Blogger, tragically died in a road accident on December 3 in Surat, Gujarat. His real name was Prince Patel. He was reportedly riding his KTM Duke motorcycle at a very high speed when the crash took place.
CCTV footage from the Great Liner Bridge flyover shows Prince allegedly riding at around 140 km/h. While coming down the bridge, he lost control of the bike and fell on the road. The motorcycle was dragged along the road divider and stopped several hundred metres ahead.
The fall was extremely severe, leading to fatal injuries. According to officials, Prince was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Who Was Prince Patel?
Prince Patel, 18, was a well-known social media vlogger popular among teenagers for his biking videos and fast-riding reels. He lived with his mother, who currently resides in a community shelter and supports the family by selling milk.
His Instagram profile showcased his affection for the KTM Duke 390, a bike he reportedly purchased in September 2025, as evident in his posts. He often shared edited and stylised photos and videos featuring his motorcycle. He had named his KTM bike “Laila”.
Just four days before his accident, Prince posted a video imagining that his love for Laila would continue even after death.
In the video, he compared himself to a lover named Majnu and shared a poetic message expressing his attachment to his bike. The voiceover in the video said, “While Majnu was alive, he never found anyone more beautiful than Laila. Even in a world of fairies, Majnu still finds no one more beautiful than Laila.” The video concluded with the Bollywood song “Laila” from the movie “Laila Majnu.”
