PUNE: A 16-year-old boy from Sahakarnagar succumbed to the injuries he had suffered after being hit by a tempo carrying loudspeakers to the Dhankawadi village fair.
The vehicle rammed a couple of two-wheelers before crashing into a fish shop around 1.30pm on Saturday. The boy, Sunny Datta Dhaware, was sitting on one of the two-wheelers parked in front of the shop, a Sahakarnagar police officer said.
“Dhaware was from a poor family and worked in a local shop. He was admitted to a hospital near the accident spot. He succumbed to his injuries during treatment,” said U N Londhe, assistant inspector of the Sahakarnagar police.
The police arrested the tempo driver, Rupesh Baliram Malusare of Kondhwa, on Sunday on the charge of negligence, causing death and driving the vehicle without a driving licence.
The police also booked the owner of the tempo on the charge of allowing Malusare to drive the vehicle without a licence.
