PUNE: A 33-year-old man, who started working as a food delivery partner after being laid off from an automobile company, was killed in a hit-and-run accident on Saturday night.
“The accident occurred near Talegaon along the Talegaon-Chakan Road around 8.30pm, when the deceased, Vishwanath Jamadar, was on his way to deliver food in Vadgaon,” said sub-inspector Dnyaneshwar Zol.
He is survived by his wife and an infant daughter, whose birthday is on September 24.
Prima facie probe revealed that Jamadar’s motorcycle was hit by a speeding truck, said Zol. The truck driver did not stop after the accident. Jamadar was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Ashok Ghosale, the brother-in-law of the deceased, said Jamadar, who had completed an ITI course, worked with an auto firm for 10 years before he was laid off with other workers. He had taken a flat on rent and was finding it difficult to pay EMIs. A few months ago, Jamdar had joined a food delivery company.
