A 23-year-old engineering student was crushed to death by a truck in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district, police said on Thursday.
Sindri Avinash Priyadarshi, a third-year electrical engineering student from Birsa Institute of Technology (BIT), was on his way to a relative's home on a motorcycle around 7.30 pm on Wednesday when his bike skidded off the road near Kandra on Sindri-Jhari road, around 170km from Ranchi, police said.
"Priyadarshi fell on the road and a truck coming from the opposite direction crushed him to death," Goshala police station in-charge Virendra Kumar said.
After getting information, relatives and students of the institute reached the spot and blocked the Sindri-Jharia road demanding arrest of the truck driver.
