Out for morning walk, two friends die in hit & run in Ghazaiabad
Ghaziabad: Two neighbours who'd been friends for a decade were run over at the Rotary roundabout in Raj Nagar Extension while they were on an early morning walk, a ritual they had followed for years, on Friday. According to police, Subhash Singh (57) and Kamlesh Yadav (45), residents of Brij Nagri in Nandgram, left for the walk around 5am. They were on their way back around 5.30am when a four-wheeler rammed into them from the back. Its driver sped away. Kamlesh's son Atul told TOI some neighbours informed the family about the accident. "We reached the spot and took them to a nearby hospital. Both of them succumbed to their injuries within an hour," Atul said. Atul, a BJP functionary, said his father was the RWA president of the colony and Subhash was an e-rickshaw driver. "They had been friends for 10 years and were living in the area for the past five years. When Covid-19 happened, they decided to go for morning walks to become fit. They'd leave at 5am and return by 6am," Atul said. Nandgram ACP Poonam Mishra said a police team was rushed to the spot of the accident on Friday morning and was trying to gather information about the vehicle that hit the two men. "We have registered an FIR against an unknown driver under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving or riding on a public place) of BNS at the Nandgram police station," the ACP said. Atul said there were few eyewitnesses near the roundabout at the time of the crash. The ACP said two teams have been formed to investigate the case. "Police are also checking CCTV footage of nearby areas to identify the vehicle," she said. 18 injured in DME accident Eighteen people on a Tempo Traveller were injured after its driver fell asleep at the wheel and collided with another vehicle on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near Modinagar in the city on Friday. The accident was reported around 3am, when the mini-bus was ferrying pilgrims from Rajasthan's Dausa to Badrinath temple in Uttarakhand. Police said Gopal Sharma of Jaipur was driving the mini-bus and fell asleep. "This caused the mini-bus to lose control and collide with an unknown vehicle. The impact was so severe that the driver's side was badly damaged. Passengers managed to escape and those injured were admitted to a hospital in Meerut," a police officer said. Sharma was among the 18 injured. Cops said a case was being registered and they are on the lookout for the driver of the other vehicle too.
