Hit by speeding school bus, biker dies in Khanna

A speeding and rashly driven school bus rammed into a motorcyclist in Khanna on Monday. The victim, who suffered serious injuries, was taken to the PGI, Chandigarh, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The complainant, Randhir Singh, a resident of Fatehgarh Sahib, told the police that he and his nephew Harjot Singh were going towards Khanna from the Amloh side on their motorcycles. When his nephew was going ahead of him, a rashly driven school bus (bearing registration no PB10JM3622) came from the Khanna side and collided head-on with the former’s motorcycle.

“My nephew fell on the road and suffered critical head injuries. Bus driver Judge Kumar, a resident of Kartar Nagar, Khanna, fled the scene in the vehicle. With the help of the people, I rushed the victim to the Civil Hospital, Khanna, from where he was shifted to the PGI, Chandigarh, due to his serious injuries. When we reached the PGI, doctors declared him dead,” the complainant said.

Investigating officer ASI Sukhwinder Singh said after registering a case against the bus driver, further investigation was launched in the matter.
