Nagpur: Speeding Tipper Truck Collision Claims Young Life, Leaves Five Injured
A devastating road accident in the Pitesur area under the jurisdiction of Gittikhadan police station in Nagpur resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man and injuries to five of his friends on Saturday. The incident occurred when a speeding tipper truck violently collided with the car carrying the group, who were on their way back from a planned shrine visit before appearing for an examination.
Details of the Tragic Incident
The victims, all residents of Zingabai Takli and nearby localities, included Aryan Daf, who tragically lost his life, along with his friends Abhijit Khadke (21), Gaurav Kamble (20), Rohan Tandekar (20), Abhishek Durai (21), and Aman Pardhi (22). According to police reports, the friends had organized a visit to the Hanuman Mandir in Babulkheda, traveling in Aryan's car with Aman at the wheel.
Around 8:30 AM, while en route to Babulkheda via Pitesur, the group encountered a change in plans. Abhijit mentioned he had not bathed, and Abhishek expressed concerns about being late for his exam. Consequently, they decided to return home, executing a U-turn on the road.
The Collision and Aftermath
As they neared Swaraj Farmhouse, a tipper truck traveling at high speed from the opposite direction smashed into their car. The impact was severe, causing the car to spin out of control and crash into the compound wall of the farmhouse. Shockingly, the tipper driver fled the scene immediately, abandoning his vehicle at the site of the accident.
All six friends sustained injuries in the crash, with Aryan suffering the most critical wounds. They were promptly rushed to a private hospital located on Mankapur Ring Road. Unfortunately, doctors pronounced Aryan dead upon arrival. His five friends are currently undergoing medical treatment for their injuries, with their conditions being monitored closely.
