Updated: Mar 2nd, 2025
A tragic accident took place near Mevli village in Savli Taluka when a concrete mixer truck rammed into a bike, leaving a father and son critically injured. The son, Rajesh Parmar, succumbed to his injuries, while his father, Ghanshyam Parmar (58), is undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
The accident occurred yesterday evening when Ghanshyam and Rajesh were traveling on their bike to Sandhasal village to buy household items. As they reached the outskirts of Mevli near Panchiya Talavadi, a speeding concrete mixer truck collided with their bike, throwing both of them off.
Passersby rushed to their aid and immediately shifted them to Savli Government Hospital. However, doctors declared Rajesh dead upon arrival. Due to the severity of his injuries, Ghanshyambhai was transferred to a private hospital for further treatment.
This accident comes after another major road incident in Gujarat on March 1, when former minister and ex-MLA from Kapadvanj, Bimal Shah, was involved in an accident. Reports state that a dumper truck struck his car while he was visiting his former constituency in Kapadvanj.
According to sources, dumpers from Kapadvanj heading to Ahmedabad often take a detour via the Torana to Chipdi road to avoid the Pithai toll tax. It was on the road that Shah’s car was hit by a dumper truck. Fortunately, he survived the accident.
