Mohali, June 17 -- A motorcyclist and a scooterist tragically lost their lives in separate road accidents in Mohali, police said on Monday. In the first case, Manish Yadav, a 26-year-old private company employee from Delhi, was killed on the spot after a car hit his motorcycle head-on near IISER light point on Sunday. The victim's father, Jagvir Singh, told the police that Manish had planned to meet his sister, who lives in Zirakpur. As his car wasn't functioning, he borrowed his friend's motorcycle, but he couldn't meet his sister. The father said he later received a phone call from his daughter, alerting him about Manish's accident. She was informed by onlookers at the accident site. Jagvir added that he rushed to the scene and found a car, bearing registration number HR51-AG-6139, parked there. The gathered crowd told him that it had struck his son's motorcycle and the driver escaped on foot.
