Tragic Hit-and-Run Claims Young Life in Muzaffarpur
A promising young life was cut short in a devastating road accident in Muzaffarpur district. A 19-year-old student, identified as Saurabh Kumar from Vasdeva village, was killed on the spot after a sand-laden truck rammed into his motorcycle from behind. The tragic incident occurred on National Highway 722, near the Ara Mile area, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Karja police station.
Details of the Fatal Collision
The collision was severe and immediate. According to preliminary information, Saurabh was riding his bike on the busy highway when the speeding truck, loaded with sand, struck him from the rear. The impact of the crash was so forceful that the young student succumbed to his injuries at the scene itself. In a callous act, the truck driver abandoned his vehicle and fled from the spot, leaving behind the victim and the evidence of his crime.
Local police responded swiftly to the incident. They reached the location and took possession of the abandoned truck, which is now a key piece of evidence in the case. The body of Saurabh Kumar was carefully sent to the Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) for a necessary postmortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death and document the injuries.
Police Investigation and Manhunt Underway
The law enforcement authorities have launched a full-scale investigation into this fatal hit-and-run case. Additional Station House Officer (SHO) Krishna Kant Mishra confirmed that active raids are being conducted across possible hideouts to track down and apprehend the absconding truck driver. The police are analyzing the seized vehicle for clues and are likely scanning CCTV footage from the highway and nearby areas to identify the culprit.
This incident has once again highlighted the grave dangers on Indian highways, particularly involving heavy commercial vehicles. It raises serious concerns about road safety, driver accountability, and the enforcement of traffic regulations in the region. The local community and the victim's family await justice as the police continue their search for the driver responsible for this heartbreaking loss.
