Pune boy killed in truck accident; locals blame bad roads
A very sad accident happened in a city in India.
An 11-year-old boy was riding on the back of a motorcycle with his father and sister.
Their motorcycle fell over and the boy went under the wheels of a big truck.
Sadly, the boy died.
The police watched camera footage of the accident.
The camera showed the motorcycle slipping on a broken part of the road while trying to pass the truck.

Because of this, the police registered a case against the truck driver for driving carelessly.
Many people who travel on that road are angry and say the bad road caused the accident.
