A Malagasy man died in a quad bike accident on Sunday, May 25, 2025, in Petit-Verger, in the north of the island. The incident occurred around 7 p.m. along the road near the Wastewater Management Authority facilities.

According to initial police reports, Randrianarivoniaina James Robertho, 34, was found dead in the bushes about four meters from an unpaved path. His damaged quad bike was stuck against a nearby tree.

The victim, originally from Madagascar, was living in a dormitory in the area and was employed by Chettiar Enterprise.
