A 24-year-old man, distributing milk in the early hours of Thursday, died after a speeding SUV driven by a teenage boy knocked down his two-wheeler in the Goregaon area here, police said.

The incident took place in Aarey Colony around 4 am.

Navin Vaishnaw died after an SUV, which was on the wrong side, collided with his two-wheeler, said a police official.
