5-Year-Old Boy Killed in Pune Car Accident
A little boy named Nishkarsh was playing with his scooter inside his home's garden.
A car came and hit him.

It's very sad because Nishkarsh was only 5 years old.
The driver might have been going too fast, but we don't know for sure.
The police are investigating.
