A tragic accident occurred late Monday night at Ludhiana’s Samrala Chowk flyover when a speeding container rammed into a tractor-trolley, killing 45-year-old Malkit Singh and seriously injuring his son Hardeep Singh. The impact was so severe that Malkit fell through the flyover gap and died on the spot, while the accused driver abandoned the container and fled.
Hardeep, who was driving the tractor-trolley toward Focal Point, said the collision happened suddenly from behind, leaving them no time to react. Despite his injuries, he gathered the courage to locate his father and rushed him to CMC Hospital with public help, but doctors declared him dead.
Police from Division No. 7 reached the spot, cleared traffic, and seized the container. Officials confirmed that Malkit Singh was the sole breadwinner of the family. An FIR has been registered, and further investigation is underway.
