Kanpur: A chilling video of an accident in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur has emerged online. Here an unknown driver crushed an irrigation department employee to death on Sunday night.
A few days ago, in a similar incident, a man rammed his car into a woman toll employee who stood in front of the car asking for the toll tax in Meerut.
According to reports, Nawabganj resident Ravindra Tiwari was involved in a car accident near Company Baug Chauraha late Sunday night. The driver hit several cars, including Tiwari's. After the collision, Tiwari and others got out of their cars to stop the driver.

The police arrived at the scene after being informed about the accident and took the injured Tiwari to Hallet Hospital, where he died during treatment.
After hitting Tiwari, the driver fled the scene. A passerby captured a video of the incident, which has been widely circulated on social media.
