Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 36-year-old man driving a car died after his vehicle rammed into a pillar in Bilkhiriya after hitting a divider, the police said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday in which a relative of the man driving the car received grievous injuries, the police added.
Bilkhiriya police station house officer BP Singh said that the deceased Brijesh Singh Rajput (36) was a contractor. He had gone to Barkheda Pathani along with his brother Durgesh Rajput to attend a wedding on Monday.
The duo left for Mandideep at 12 at night and reached Bilkhiriya. As the car was being driven at a high speed, it lost control and rammed into a divider and hit the pillar next.
Locals rushed to the spot and took them to the hospital where Brijesh was declared brought dead. Durgesh’s condition said to be critical.
