An auto-rickshaw driver was killed and his wife sustained injuries after being hit by a speeding Toyota Fortuner in a hit-and-run accident in Majat, Kharar, on Wednesday.
The deceased was identified as Angrej Singh, a resident of Mohali.
His brother-in-law Amandeep Singh told police that his sister Parminder Kaur and her husband, Angrej Singh, were travelling in their auto-rickshaw. “When they reached Majri, a Toyota Fortuner car bearing a Haryana number, which was coming from the wrong side, hit their three-wheeler, causing the vehicle to overturn,” he added.
The onlookers rushed the victims to the Mohali civil hospital, where doctors declared Angrej dead.
