ARA------------------------An e-rickshaw driver died and three others—including two cousins ​​riding a motorcycle—were injured in a tragic road accident on the Bihiya-Bihta State Highway in Ara on Monday night. The incident occurred on the overbridge at Ibrahimpur Mor within the Piro police station area. Following the accident, locals rushed the injured to the Piro Primary Health Centre (PHC), where doctors declared the e-rickshaw driver dead.

The deceased has been identified as 26-year-old Sonu Sharma, son of Videshi Sharma and a resident of Ibrahimpur village. Reports indicate that Sonu was returning to Piro with passengers in his e-rickshaw, while motorcyclist Lavkush Kumar was returning to his village with his cousin after attending a female cousin's wedding at a temple in Sahar.

According to reports, Sonu Sharma was returning to Piro with passengers. Meanwhile, Lavkush Kumar was returning to his village on a motorcycle with his cousin after attending a female cousin's wedding at a temple in Sahar.

At that moment, the motorcycle rammed into the e-rickshaw from behind on the Ibrahimpur Mor overbridge. The impact was so severe that both vehicles lost control, and everyone on board sustained serious injuries.

Those injured in the accident include Lavkush Kumar (a resident of Bamhawar village), his cousin, and Kulwant Kumar (son of Nirmal Kumar Chaudhary from Bhadsar village, who was a passenger in the e-rickshaw). With the help of locals, they were immediately taken to the Piro PHC for treatment.

While undergoing treatment at the Piro PHC, e-rickshaw driver Sonu Sharma remained in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter; doctors declared him dead.

The deceased, Sonu Sharma, is survived by his wife, Anita Devi, and three daughters. The family has been devastated by this tragedy. A wave of grief has swept through the village, and the family members are inconsolable.
