NOIDA: A food delivery executive, who was hit by a cab at a traffic intersection near Sector 16 five days ago, succumbed to injuries at AIIMS on Monday night. The cabby is yet to be traced.
Satyavir Singh (27) was heading home to Chhalera after delivering a food packet on his bike when the cab crashed into him from the opposite side.
Satyavir was wearing a helmet, but was flung several metres in the air.
The cab driver managed to flee the spot.
Satyavir was taken to Kailash hospital by passersby and was referred to Safdarjung hospital in Delhi from there.
However, his family took him to the trauma centre at AIIMS, where he was admitted in the ICU.
Arvind Singh, Satyavir’s brother-in-law, said he died around 11pm on Monday. “He had suffered a serious injury to the head. There were injuries to the foot and liver too. The doctor had suggested a surgery in the head but it was not be possible,” he added.
Satyavir is survived by a three-year-old daughter and a wife who is five months pregnant.
While an FIR had been lodged in the case under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) earlier, Section 304A (death due to negligence) has now been added to it, said Munish Chauhan, the SHO of Sector 20 police station.
Three youths, including two minors, were seriously injured in another accident near the commissionerate office in Sector 108 on Monday night.
The trio has been identified as Abhishek (21), Shabista (13) and Riazul (12). They were riding a bike that was hit by a pickup van.
The youths had reached the Gejha traffic signal when the pickup van crashed into them.
They were taken to Yatharth Hospital, where Abhishek and Shabista are battling critical injuries.
