Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): Dense fog led to two road accidents in Gwalior, claiming life of a bike rider and leaving four others injured. The incidents took place on the Bhind Road in the Maharajpur police station area late Thursday night and early Friday morning.
According to information, the deceased has been identified as 25-year-old farmer Satyabhan Singh, from Bahadurpura village in Gwalior. He had left home around 12:30 am to inspect his fields and was riding his bike between Phulpur and Bahadurpura. This is when a speeding Bolero collided with him.
The impact was so severe that Satyabhan was thrown into the air and landed on the road. Due to this he suffered critical head injuries and succumbed on the spot.
The police sent his body for a post-mortem and arrested the Bolero driver, seizing the vehicle. A case has been registered against the driver for negligent driving under the Vehicle Act.
Second incident: Car catches fire
Another road accident took place near Baretha Toll at Ghuraiya Market in which a car lost control due to the dense fog and crashed into a divider. This caused the car to catch fire.
A police officer present at the scene acted swiftly and rescued all four passengers from the burning car.
As the fire spread rapidly, the passengers sustained minor injuries. The injured were immediately taken to the hospital for treatment with the help of an ambulance.
A fire brigade was also called, but by the time they arrived, the car was completely destroyed.
According to CSP Nagendra Singh Sikarwar, one person lost his life in the first accident, while four others were injured in the second. He added that the Bolero driver responsible for the fatal accident has been arrested, and further investigation is ongoing.
