Biker killed as truck hits bike and car on Gadchandur-Boyegaon road in Chandrapur

A motorcyclist was killed in a truck accident on the Gadchandur-Boyegaon road in Chandrapur district at around 5.30 pm on November 10, 2026. According to police, the truck first hit an oncoming motorcycle and then rammed a car heading towards Chandrapur from behind.

The speeding truck, travelling from Gadchandur towards Chandrapur via Boyegaon, first hit the oncoming motorcycle head-on. The biker died on the spot. The truck did not stop even then, and rammed a Dzire car going in the direction of Chandrapur from behind, dragging it some distance. The car went off the road.

After the two collisions, the truck got stuck in a deep canal-like stretch beside the road. The truck driver fled the spot.

The deceased biker has been identified as Ganesh Balkrishna Thipe, 45, a resident of Lakhmapur. He was riding his motorcycle (MH34CP3759) from Lakhmapur towards Gadchandur when the accident occurred.

On the same road, Nitin Raut, operator of Gurudatt Transport, was travelling from Gadchandur to Chandrapur in a Dzire car numbered MH34 AM 5537. After hitting the motorcycle, the truck went out of control and hit his car from behind.

The two back-to-back collisions caused panic in the area. Traffic on the road was badly affected for some time. Police reached the spot on receiving news of the accident. Tracing the unidentified truck driver, who is absconding, is a major challenge for police. Gadchandur police are investigating the case.
