Pune boy, 11, dies under truck wheels after bike skids on broken road; CCTV captures crash
The CCTV footage shows the motorcycle skidding on a broken stretch of road before the boy came under the truck.
On Monday, an 11-year-old boy from Pune, India lost his life after being crushed under the wheels of a truck in Hinjewadi. The tragic incident unfolded as he and his family were on their way to school on a motorcycle. The police have registered a case against the truck driver for driving recklessly.
According to the police, the accident happened on Nande-Mhalunge Road when the truck hit the motorcycle from behind, causing all three to lose balance and fall off. The boy, however, was caught beneath the truck's rear wheel and succumbed to his injuries.
Yet, the CCTV footage reveals a different story. The footage shows the motorcycle attempting to overtake the truck from the left lane. It appears the road surface was broken, leading to a skid. The boy's death was thus the unfortunate result of this dangerous maneuver.
Residents of Hinjewadi, expressing their anger, blamed the civic authorities for the poor road conditions. They are demanding immediate action to rectify the situation and prevent any further such tragic incidents.
