Lucknow, Oct. 18 -- A youth was killed in a road accident in Lucknow's Bijnor police station area this morning, police said.
The deceased has been identified as Shiva, a resident of Kamalapur.
According to police, the accident occurred as Shiva was returning home on his scooter after dropping his sister at her workplace. The road is narrowed due to an iron barricade placed near CRPF Gate no. 1.
Eyewitnesses stated that Shiva was riding at a high speed when he suddenly noticed a car approaching from the opposite direction. In an attempt to avoid a collision and manoeuvre through the barricaded section, he applied sudden brakes.
His scooter slipped, causing him to lose control and fall a few metres ahead, where he lost consciousness.
