A motorcyclist was killed in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, when his two-wheeler crashed into an e-rickshaw that was suddenly turning around in the middle of a busy one-way street on a bridge.
CCTV footage of the collision shows that the e-rickshaw driver immediately left the scene after seeing the biker fall into the road.

Upon witnessing the accident, other commuters pulled over and assisted 21-year-old Akash Singh, a bike rider, in getting to the hospital. According to the hospital, he passed away while traveling.

A police case has been filed against the e-rickshaw driver based on a complaint by Akash Singh’s father, Ashwani Singh. His son worked at a private company. He was going for an office work when the accident happened on Saturday.

Commuters complained to the police the e-rickshaws are a nuisance once they come out from areas where they are allowed to operate.

“E-rickshaws don’t follow traffic rules most of the time. They are bullies. They gang up against others when objected and become violence,” a commuter in Prayagraj said.

“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.
