Loni Kalbhor police registered a case against the motorcyclist.
In another incident, a 76-year-old man was killed after a speeding tempo rammed his two-wheeler at Chandralok Chowk in Bibvewadi in the early hours of Monday. The victim, Mukund Anant Tabib, 76, a resident of Kanchanganga Society in Bibvewadi, had stepped out for his routine morning ride when the accident occurred at dawn. Police said the tempo struck his two-wheeler, leaving him with grievous injuries. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead before treatment could begin.
A case was registered against the tempo driver at the Bibvewadi police station.
The third accident occurred on June 26 in Wadgaon Sheri but the family filed the complaint only on Wednesday because they were in shock and mourning, police said. Nicholas Van Wilson, 35, a resident of Imperial Tower on Mohammadwadi Road in Undri, was riding his motorcycle when another speeding two-wheeler coming from the opposite direction allegedly crashed into his vehicle near Nyati Meadows Society .
