PANAJI: A Gujarati tourist on Friday rammed his speeding car into the bike of a Nagoa man dropping his children to school, killing him and injuring the two children.
The accident took place around 7.50am. Police said that when John Trinidade D’Souza slowed down his two-wheeler ahead of a speed-breaker, the car, driven by Paushak Shah, 25, from Vadodara, hit him from behind. All three fell off the bike, and D’Souza hit a nearby compound wall.
All three were shifted to the North Goa district hospital, Mapusa, where D’Souza was declared brought dead.
His son, 11, was admitted to hospital for a fractured hand, while his 15-year-old daughter was discharged after treatment.
Police said that Shah was speeding and driving in a rash and negligent manner while proceeding from Nagoa to Arpora when he hit the scooter near Holy Trinity church.
After a postmortem examination, D’Souza’s body was handed over to his family for final rites.
