The accident reportedly happened when the big cat emerged from a field and crossed into the road in front of Ali.
Ali was allegedly speeding and was unable to brake in time.
He hit the two-year-old female, knocking himself off his bike and hitting his head on the tarmac.
The leopard then used its remaining strength to pounce on him, according to witnesses.
The horror unfolded on Thursday (2 January) night in Thakurdwara, Uttar Pradesh, India.
After witnesses called for help, Ali was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries and severe bleeding.
Sadly, he ended up passing away, while the leopard died at the scene from a head injury, as reported by Need To Know.
The accident site is close to the Jim Corbett National Park, which is home to elephants, tigers, bears, and other fearsome mammals.
Forest official Ravi Kumar Gangwar told local media: “Wild animals often stray into this area from bordering forests.”
