Noida: A tractor-trolley driver died after a Uttar Pradesh Roadways bus allegedly rammed into his vehicle from behind on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday, police said. According to the cops, the mishap took place in Noida’s Badalpur locality when the 26-year-old tractor-trolley driver changed lanes in a bid to overtake a bike, which led to the dreadful accident. The deceased driver was identified as Deewan Singh, a resident of a village in Dhanaura in Amroha district.
“On Wednesday around 12.30 am, when Deewan was heading towards Dadri in Greater Noida from Ghaziabad side, a UP Roadways bus rammed into his vehicle from behind near CHW company gate number one under the jurisdiction of Badalpur police station in Central Noida,” Badalpur SHO Brahmpal Singh stated.
