Road accident claimed the life of a 27-year-old biker who was knocked by a light luggage carrier at Pardi on Saturday. The victim, Vishal
Bajaj, who was driving the bike with his younger brother Nikhil riding pillion, was heading to his residence at Hanuman nagar when the incident took place.
Police said Vishal was unable to control his bike after another two-wheeler, travelling ahead, came in the way. A dash with the two-wheeler proved costly for the brothers as they crashed on the street after the hit. While both the brothers fell on the road, Vishal was unfortunate of the two to have been hit by a speeding light carrier van which failed to stop at a safer distance, the police said.
The brothers, who were returning from a construction site, were rushed to a private hospital. Vishal had succumbed to his injuries shortly after two were admitted at the Wardhaman nagar hospital. Nikhil was shifted to a private hospital on Central Avenue. Kalamna police, which have already registered a case, is probing the incident.
