Cyclist killed by van, driver rushes victim to hospital

A 48-year-old cyclist was fatally mowed down by a van at a traffic


junction in south Delhi’s Jasola on Tuesday morning, police said.
The errant driver tried to save the cyclist by rushing him to a private
hospital but the victim succumbed to his injuries.
The driver, 22-year-old Ashish Sharma, was arrested from the
hospital and booked for causing death due to negligence and rash
driving.
Chinmoy Biswal, deputy commissioner of police (south-east), identified
the cyclist as Ram Kishore, a resident of Madanpur Khadar in south
Delhi.
“Kishore worked as a peon at a private hospital in Jasola. He has left
behind a wife and three young daughters,” the DCP sid.
The accident happened around 5.30 am at the Jasola traffic junction on
Tuesday. The crime was brought to police’s notice by authorities of a
private hospital where Kishore was rushed to by the van driver.
“We apprehended the driver at the hospital itself. He hadn’t tried to
escape,” said another investigator.
Last year, out of 1,565 people killed in road fatalities in Delhi, 65 were
cyclists.
