On Friday midnight, Arif Ansari and the boy Pranay were going towards Kamptee from Nagpur on Hero Honda motorcycle (MH-31/BF 7644). As both reached near Sanjivani Lawn on Nagpur-Jabalpur Road, a truck (MP-20/HB 6155) was overtaking them with great speed. Sensing deep trouble, Arif Ansari signalled the truck driver to stop but the driver refused and raced his vehicle. As a result, the speeding truck rammed Arif Ansari’s bike. He and Pranay fell on the road due to impact. Arif came under the wheels of the truck and was crushed to death on the spot. Pranay too was injured critically. The driver of the killer truck fled the spot soon after the ghastly mishap fearing arrest.
