Vansh, who was the only son of his parents, and Aavesh were returning home from the institute on a Honda Activa (MH-40/BY-7988) around 2 pm. Near Seth Kesarimal Porwal College, a rashly-driven truck (MH-40/Y-0871) hit them from behind. Vansh and Aavesh fell off the scooter and came under the wheels of the truck. Their scooter stuck between the buffer and the wheel of the truck. Vansh was killed instantaneously. Aavesh, who sustained serious injuries, is now battling for his life in a private hospital.
New Kamptee Police detained the ‘killer’ truck and took its driver into custody. Further investigations are underway.
