A hit and run in Aarey Milk Colony on Thursday left two Forest Department employees with significant injuries. After knocking down the two forest guards, the tempo driver fled the scene. The accident comes a week after mid-day reported how the new speedbreaker-less roads made by the civic body are endangering the wildlife and humans.
On Thursday, Forester Sharad Dhuri and Forest Guard Pravin Patil were heading back to their office after regular patrolling. Patil was riding the bike, and Dhuri was riding pillion. A forest officer who wished to remain anonymous said, “Dhuri and Patil were travelling towards our chowky on their bike between 2:15 pm and 2:45 pm when a tiny tempo abruptly struck them from the opposite side, throwing them to the ground. The driver fled with his vehicle.”
