A 22-year-old man was killed when a speeding car hit his scooter from behind following an accident in north-west Delhi on Friday.
The driver has been arrested, the police said. Vikas, a resident of Burari, was on the Ring Road flyover between Wazirpur and Azadpur when his two-wheeler was hit by the car being driven by Saurav Goyal, a resident of Rohini.
Police said that the witness, Pankaj Gaur, told them that the driver first brushed against his car and then sped away in an attempt to escape. He then hit Vikas’ scooty. “The deceased fell off the flyover because of the impact,” said a senior police officer.
