A speeding dumper driving on the wrong side of the road rammed into a scooter carrying three youths at the Madan Mahal Flyover rotary early Friday morning, leaving one dead and two others severely injured. The deceased has been identified as Aman Kesharwani (28), a resident living near Jagdish Temple at Garhaphatak. His two companions, Nikhil Burman (22) of Niwarganj and Ankit Jhariya (17) of Kali Math, sustained critical injuries and were immediately rushed to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College for emergency treatment.

 

According to police accounts, the three individuals were traveling together on a scooter toward the flyover rotary when an oncoming dumper traveling at high speed on the wrong side struck their vehicle. The impact threw all three occupants onto the road. Aman succumbed to his injuries at the scene before medical aid could arrive. The dumper driver fled the spot along with the vehicle immediately after the collision. Garha police have registered a case and initiated an intensive search using nearby CCTV camera footage to identify and trace the offending vehicle and driver. The incident has raised fresh concerns regarding reckless wrong-side driving on high-speed arterial stretches across the city.
