GURGAON: A 16-year-old died after the motorcycle he was driving was run over by a tractor on Mandi Road in Gwal Pahari, close to the Delhi-Gurgaon border, on Monday afternoon.

The tractor's driver sped off after the crash.

Police said Sandeep had bought groceries and was on his way home in Gwal Pahari village, where he runs a food cart, when the accident occurred around 2.55pm near ASF Building on Mandi Road.

Sandeep's grandfather Ramkrishan told cops that passersby and commuters rushed to help. The teenager was taken to Marengo Asia Hospital in Sector 56, where doctors declared him dead.

On Ramkrishan's complaint, an FIR was registered at DLF-1 police station under sections 106 (death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of BNS.

Cops said on Tuesday they are investigating the accident and trying to identify the tractor driver.

Less than 24 hours earlier, a similar incident was reported in Farrukhnagar.

Eyewitnesses told police that a truck rammed a motorcycle around 8pm on Sunday night, killing the pillion rider – Tejpal (32) -- and injuring the two-wheeler's driver.

The truck driver is on the run.

"Two men were riding a Bullet when a container truck coming from Wazirpur to Farrukhnagar hit their bike, and the rear-end tyre of the truck crushed the pillion rider," Sunderlal, a shopkeeper who saw the accident, said.

Police said Tejpal lived in Alimuddinpur village of Farrukhnagar and the bike's driver was his relative, Laxman.

Similar to the other case, the FIR was registered under BNS sections for rash driving and death by negligence, along with 125(A) for endangering human life.
