In a tragic accident, a pillion rider was crushed to death after coming under the wheels of a truck after being knocked down by a roadside barricade that crashed into the motorcyclists.

 

The incident took place on the Western Express Highway at Kandivili in Mumbai on September 12 evening.

 

At around 5 pm 26-year-old Prashant Ambekar was riding the bike with his friend 28-year-old Manoj Pawar. They were returning home from Borivili when the accident took place.

 

The incident was captured on an CCTV installed nearby.

 

A barricade placed along the road where a subway work was on fell on the motorcycle riders, who were then pushed into the path of the moving truck. The barricade was very heavy due to which the rider lost his balance and the pillion rider was thrown on the road and was subsequently crushed under the wheels of a truck that was driving alongside the bike.

 

While Pawar died on the spot, Ambekar is said to be critical and undergoing treatment at Shatabdi Hospital.
