A 19-year-old man died and another was injured after a truck allegedly hit their motorcycle at IP Flyover in central Delhi early Sunday morning. The deceased, identified as Aman, a resident of Madanpur Khadar, was riding a black Hero Honda Splendor with his 22-year-old pillion rider, Alber, from Batla House in Jamia Nagar.
Police said a PCR call was received at IP Estate police station around 6.21 am after being transferred from Civil Lines. The accident occurred as the two were travelling towards Sarai Kale Khan. Aman sustained fatal injuries and died on the spot, while Alber was taken to the Trauma Centre and is in stable condition.
Police have registered a case and are trying to trace the truck, which fled after the collision. No arrests have been reported yet.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Delhi's IP Flyover, part of a busy arterial route connecting central and south-east areas, sees frequent accidents involving speeding commercial vehicles. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, hit-and-run cases can attract up to 10 years' imprisonment. The police will rely on CCTV footage and nearby toll plaza records to identify the truck. The next key step is whether the driver is traced and charged within the week, as vehicle registration details are often the first lead in such cases.
