A 15-year-old Std X student lost his life after being hit by a speeding dumper at Turbhe Naka on Wednesday afternoon. According to Turbhe MIDC police, the boy has been identified as Dipanshu Bauddh, a resident of Indira Nagar in Turbhe MIDC. He was appearing for his Std X board exams and had left home on the day of the incident to get a printout of his hall ticket. He took his bicycle and asked his friend Altaf to accompany him. 

While Altaf cycled ahead, Dipanshu was just a short distance behind. As they reached Pfizer Road near Amit Palace Bar, a speeding dumper struck Dipanshu’s bicycle from behind, throwing him several metres away. Altaf, who witnessed the accident, screamed for help, following which bystanders rushed Dipanshu to a hospital.
