Motorcyclist mowed down by truck
Pune: A container truck jumped a median and mowed down a 46-year-old motorcyclist on the Pune-Nashik highway in Moshi on Friday late at night.
After mowing down the motorcyclist — Kaluram Kolekar of Bhosari — the container truck crashed into a private luxury bus and halted. No one from the bus was injured, an officer from the Bhosari MIDC police said.
He said the truck was heading towards Nashik.
Around 9.30pm, when it reached Moshi, the driver lost control over the wheel. “The vehicle dashed the signal pole, jumped the median and entered the opposite lane of the highway,” the officer said.
He said the truck mowed down Kolekar and then crashed into the bus. “The windscreen and the right of the bus were damaged,” he said. Kolekar’s elder brother Balu Kolekar said he was the only earning member of the family. Kolekar is survived by wife, a daughter and a son. The Bhosari MIDC police booked the truck driver the IPC and Motor Vehicles Act.
