A resident of Bihar was killed in a road accident near Bagbali village here on NH-7 on the night intervening May 2 and 3.

The deceased has been identified as Amod Paswan.

Vishal Kumar, a resident of Sitamarhi district in Bihar, stated that he along with his cousin Amod, who worked for a Delhi-based company, and the latter’s colleague Mohan Lal were on their way to Delhi when their Bolero SUV collided with a tipper.

He said Mohan Lal was driving the SUV while his cousin was sitting on the front passenger seat, while he was on the rear seat. A rashly driven tipper moving ahead of them suddenly applied brakes. “As a result, Bolero rammed into the tipper,” he said and added that the tipper driver fled the spot leaving the vehicle behind.
