The Tata-Kandra road, which is devoid of any street lights, claimed the life of a 50-year-old man late on Sunday night, leading the local residents to set up a blockade on the road which was cleared in the wee hours on Monday. The mishap took place near a petrol station in Chhota Gamharia under Gamharia thana area in the adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan district about seven km away from here.
The victim identified as Salki Tuddu was crossing the road on foot while returning home at around 9.30 pm when he fell victim to two speeding cars.
A resident of adjoining Balrampur village in Gamharia said that Tuddu was first hit by a speeding car that was coming from the Kandra end, causing him to get flung apart on the road. As he fell down, another speeding car which was coming from the same direction hit him once again causing him to die on the spot.
