A 24-year-old motorcycle rider was killed after crashing into a stationary truck parked on the wrong side of the road near Mandi border in Gwal Pahadi, Gurugram, police said on Monday.
The victim was identified as Pawan Prajapati, who worked in a liquor shop in Gwal Pahadi. He was from Bhitarwar in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh and lived in a rented house in Mandi. Police said the accident took place at 1pm on Sunday.
“The deceased failed to understand that the truck was not moving and was stationary due to which he rammed it. His motorcycle was completely wrecked and was trapped beneath the truck. The impact was such that he was killed instantly,” said Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of Gurugram police.
Locals alerted the police control room after which an emergency response vehicle reached the spot and took the body to a civil hospital.
