In one incident, a bike rider lost his life after an electric pole collapsed due to high-speed winds and fell on him. The impact proved fatal and locals rushed to help, but he succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
In another accident, an elderly man died after a granite slab fell on him amid the storm. The strong winds are believed to have dislodged the heavy structure, causing the fatal accident.
