2 die as bike rams into parked truck

GURUGRAM: Negligence of a truck driver proved costly for two bikers, who died on the spot when they rammed their motorcycle into a stationary truck at Panchgaon Chowk flyover on Sunday night. According to the police, the deceased have been identified as Arvind Thakur (24), a resident of Delhi, and Santosh Sharma (29), a resident of Naharpur Rupa village.
The two were travelling to Delhi on Arvind's Splender iSmart bike around 10.30 pm on Sunday when the accident happened. When they reached Panchgaon Chowk, the duo didn't notice the truck which was parked in the middle of the road without any warning signal. As the stretch was dark, the bike rammed into the truck at a high speed, killing both on the spot. The erring driver immediately fled the spot, leaving behind the truck.

Cops identified the youths with the help of Arvind's identity card after which the families were informed. Following Haresh Thakur's (Arvind's uncle) complaint, an FIR was registered against the truck driver under sections 283 (obstruction in public way), 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC at Manesar police station. "We have seized the truck and are conducing raids to nab the truck driver," said ASI Surender Kumar, who is investigating the case.
