PUNE: A 65-year-old man riding a bicycle was hit by a speeding car on the road along the grade-separator near KSB Chowk in Pimpri on Tuesday evening. He was rushed to a hospital, where he passed away a few hours later.
The accident occurred around 6.30pm when Shrikrishna Paranjape of Udyamnagar in Pimpri was out on in the neighbourhood for his routine cycling. A traffic constable on duty at KSB Chowk said, “We found the man’s bicycle lying on the road along the wall of the grade-separator. The vehicle must have hit the bicycle from behind as its rear wheel was damaged.”
Prakash Paranjape, the victim’s brother, said, “Shrikrishna, a retired senior officer of Tata Motors, used to walk or cycle every evening.”
Navnath Chapale of the Bhosari MIDC police said,“We have started collecting CCTV footages. We have received information that it was a white car.”
