Man dies, wife injured in Fatehgarh Sahib mishap

A Sirhind resident was killed and his wife injured after a bike they were riding on rammed into a truck as the driver applied brakes suddenly.

ASI Gurcharan Singh of the Sirhind police station said in her complaint to the police, Geeta Devi, a resident of Brahman Majra in Sirhind, said she was going to her parent’s house in Sahnewal town on a bike with her husband Sukhwinder Singh.

When they reached near Khanpur village, the driver of a truck (PB11BY2601) moving in front of them applied brakes suddenly. As a result, the bike rammed into the rear of the truck. Both of them fell on the road and were badly injured.
