Goraya, October 25: A young man lost his life in a road accident near Cheema Khurd village gate in the Goraya area of Jalandhar district after his motorcycle collided with a tractor late at night. The deceased, identified as Navi, son of Duni Chand and a resident of Lallian village, was the only brother of five sisters. His sudden death has left his family grieving and cast a shadow of sorrow over his native village.
According to the available information, the accident occurred when Navi was travelling on his motorcycle near Cheema Khurd village gate. His motorcycle collided with a tractor, leaving him critically injured. Following the collision, arrangements were made to take him for medical treatment, but he died while being transported to the hospital. The news of his death came as a devastating blow to his family, who had been hoping for his recovery.
People present near the accident site claimed that the tractor was travelling on the wrong side of the road and that only one of its headlights was functioning at the time of the collision. Eyewitnesses suggested that these circumstances may have contributed to the accident. However, the exact sequence of events and whether any traffic violation occurred have yet to be established through the police investigation.
The incident was reportedly captured by CCTV cameras installed near the accident location. The footage could help investigators determine the direction of both vehicles, their movements before the collision and the circumstances that led to the crash. Police are expected to examine the available evidence as part of their investigation.
Navi's death has been particularly painful for his family, as he was the only son among six siblings. With five sisters mourning the loss of their brother, the tragedy has deeply affected the household. Residents of Lallian village were also saddened by the news, as relatives and members of the local community came to know about the late-night accident.
After receiving information about the collision, a police team from Dhuleta Police Post reached the location and began examining the circumstances. Police took the tractor into custody as part of the investigation. Officers are also working to establish how the accident occurred and whether negligence or any other violation contributed to the collision.
Dhuleta Police Post in-charge Avtar Singh stated that further legal action would be taken based on the statements recorded from the deceased's family members. Police are examining the available information to determine responsibility for the accident. Details regarding the tractor driver and any formal case registration were not available in the information provided.
The fatal collision has once again highlighted concerns surrounding road safety on village roads, particularly during nighttime travel. Poor vehicle lighting, driving on the wrong side and limited visibility can create serious risks for motorists. The allegations made by eyewitnesses will need to be assessed against the CCTV footage and other evidence before responsibility for the accident can be determined.
For Navi's family, the accident has brought an unexpected and painful loss. His five sisters and other relatives are now mourning the death of a young family member whose life ended following the late-night collision. Further developments are awaited as Goraya Police continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
