The fatal incident occurred when a speeding Hyva truck rammed into a motorcycle, causing the pillion rider to fall onto the road, after which the truck’s tyre ran over him. The victim died on the spot, while the truck driver fled the scene immediately after the accident.
According to information received, the deceased has been identified as Gamanbhai Kolcha, aged 57, a resident of Ambheta Nana Faliya in Gandevi taluka of Navsari district. At the time of the accident, Gamanbhai was riding as a pillion passenger on a motorcycle driven by Abrar Ishaq Mansuri, a 23-year-old youth from Chikhli. Abrar was reportedly dropping his friend when the unfortunate incident took place.
The accident occurred on the busy College Road area near Vasudhara Dairy Road, which has witnessed increased traffic movement in recent times. As Abrar Ishaq Mansuri and Gamanbhai Kolcha were travelling on the motorcycle, a Hyva truck came speeding from the College Road side. Witnesses and preliminary investigation suggest that the truck was being driven at a very high speed and in a negligent manner.
The Hyva truck driver allegedly lost control and violently hit the motorcycle. The impact was so severe that Gamanbhai Kolcha, who was seated at the rear, was thrown onto the road. Before anyone could react, the heavy truck’s tyre passed over his body. Due to the extremely serious injuries sustained, Gamanbhai died instantly at the accident spot. The scene left onlookers shocked, and panic spread among people present in the area.
After causing the fatal accident, the Hyva truck driver did not stop to provide assistance or report the incident. Instead, he fled the scene along with the vehicle, further aggravating public anger and concern. Locals attempted to chase the truck but were unsuccessful. The act of fleeing after causing a fatal accident has intensified calls for stricter punishment against irresponsible heavy vehicle drivers.
The complaint regarding the incident was lodged at the Chikhli Police Station by Abrar Ishaq Mansuri, who was riding the motorcycle. Abrar, a resident living behind the Thala Vishram Gruh in Chikhli, narrated the entire incident in his complaint. Based on this complaint, Chikhli police have registered a case against the unknown Hyva truck driver and initiated a detailed investigation.
Police officials have stated that efforts are underway to identify and trace the absconding truck driver.

The investigation is being handled by PSI B.C. Gadhvi, who is leading the inquiry to identify the accused and bring him to justice.
This tragic incident has once again brought the issue of heavy vehicle negligence in Chikhli into sharp focus. Local residents have expressed deep concern over the rising number of accidents on College Road and Vasudhara Dairy Road. According to locals, the movement of heavy vehicles has increased significantly in these areas, posing a serious threat to two-wheeler riders, pedestrians, and senior citizens.
Residents allege that Hyva trucks and other heavy vehicles often pass through these roads at excessive speeds, ignoring traffic rules and safety norms. Many people believe that the lack of speed control measures, traffic monitoring, and strict enforcement has emboldened reckless drivers.
