A truck driver has been arrested after a video of a speeding truck in a hit-and-run case surfaced on social media. The incident has been reported from Telangana’s Hyderabad. The truck driver has been identified as Prithviraj.

In the viral video, a speeding truck can be seen dragging a motorcycle beneath its front tyre on a busy road while the driver can be seen hanging on the side of the truck for kilometers.

According to the sources, the biker approached the police and lodged a complaint alleging that the truck driver had also hit another car after this incident on April 14.

Abdul Majeed (60), a Hyderabad resident, filed a complaint with the police on April 15. In it, he claimed that on April 14, he was riding his bike from Aramghar towards Laxmi Gardens, Champapet and that he passed close to Laxmi Garden at approximately 11:45 pm.

Meanwhile, a careless and reckless truck struck his bike from behind.

After getting hit, he fell to the left side of the road, but the truck driver did not stop and attempted to flee as the whole thing was being recorded on a phone by someone on a motorcycle behind them.

The rider, however, sustained no injuries, but his motorcycle resulted in complete damage after it was dragged by the truck.

Later, it was found that the same truck also hit another car at Champapet T-Junction. According to police, prime facie, it is suspected to be a case of over speeding. Meanwhile, the investigation is underway.
