A man was killed while another was injured after a speeding car hit a motorcycle in Mumbai’s Dahisar. The incident occurred on September 13 around 4 pm, according to Dahisar Police.
The victims, Karan Rajput (18) and his friend Aditya, were riding a bike from Dahisar to Kandivali, accompanied by another friend, Piyush Shukla, who was on a separate bike. As they approached the Shailendra High School bridge, a speeding car hit Karan's bike from behind, causing both Karan and Aditya to sustain severe injuries.
Aditya was critically injured and lost consciousness, while Karan also suffered significant injuries.
The car driver fled the scene immediately after the accident. Karan and Piyush managed to reach Seven Star Hospital in Kandivali by auto-rickshaw, where Aditya succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Dahisar Police have registered a case under multiple sections of the Motor Vehicle Act and the Indian Penal Code and are actively searching for the driver responsible for the hit-and-run.
The investigation is ongoing.
The development came just two weeks after a speeding SUV driven by a 17-year-old boy killed a 24-year-old man in Mumbai's Goregaon.
