A man riding a motorcycle died after his two-wheeler rammed into an e-rickshaw that suddenly took a U-turn in the middle of a busy one-way road on a bridge in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj on Saturday.
A CCTV footage of the accident showed the e-rickshaw driver trying to flee the scene after seeing the biker fall on the road.

According to an NDTV report, the victim, 21-year-old Akash Singh, who was riding the bike, was taken to the hospital by other onlookers. He succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital.
A police case was filed against the e-rickshaw driver based on a complaint by Akash Singh’s father, Ashwani Singh.
Commuters complained to the police about rash driving by e-rickshaws.
“E-rickshaws don’t follow traffic rules most of the time. They are bullies. They gang up against others when objected and become violent,” a commuter in Prayagraj was quoted by NDTV as saying.
“This mode of transport is good and pollution-free. But it doesn’t mean the police allow them to do whatever they want all the time. It’s very common to see e-rickshaws take the wrong side, make sudden turns,” another commuter said.
