Tragedy struck around 6 PM, when 10-year-old Samarth Sushil Shinde was fatally injured in a vehicular accident. Samarth, who had just returned from his first day of school and was joyfully riding his bicycle, collided with a turning four-wheeler on the open field.
According to witnesses, Samarth approached the vehicle from behind, losing balance and falling as he collided with it. The driver, Prem Manoj Bhosle from Bhigwan, was unable to stop the vehicle in time, resulting in the car running over the young boy and causing severe injuries.
Immediate efforts were made to save Samarth as he was rushed to Pune for medical treatment. However, despite the swift actions, he succumbed to his injuries during the transfer.
In a distressing turn of events, driver Prem Manoj Bhosle fled the scene following the accident. Authorities are currently searching for him to address the incident.
