According to eyewitness Rameshwar, a resident of Panchkula’s Rampur Siyudi and working a sanitation worker at the Chandimandir toll plaza, the accident occurred around 10 am when Nand Lal was assisting with traffic management when the speeding car, coming from Old Panchkula side, hit him directly. The impact caused severe injuries to his head, legs, and arms.
