In a heartbreaking incident at Chicalim, a security guard en route to his hometown in Bihar was killed after being struck by a speeding truck. The victim, identified as Hare Krishna Roy, was reportedly crossing the road—likely on his way to the railway station—when the accident occurred.
Eyewitnesses said the truck driver attempted to flee the scene without stopping. However, local residents quickly sprang into action, chasing down the vehicle and apprehending the driver before he could escape. They handed him over to the police, ensuring swift accountability.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after being alerted and took both the truck and its driver into custody. Initial investigations suggest that speeding and negligence were key factors behind the collision. Authorities are now verifying whether the driver was following traffic norms and if the vehicle was roadworthy.
Roy’s sudden death has left the community in shock. A hardworking man, he had been employed in Goa to support his family and was looking forward to reuniting with them in Bihar. His untimely demise has renewed concerns about pedestrian safety and reckless driving on Goan roads.
Residents and local leaders have demanded stricter enforcement of traffic regulations and better safety infrastructure—especially at high-traffic junctions—to prevent such tragedies. Meanwhile, the community has expressed deep condolences to Roy’s grieving family.
