Bike-borne man dies after tree falls on him

A man riding a motorcycle was killed after a tree fell on him due to high speed winds here, police said Thursday. The 26-year-old man was riding a scooter on the Naraingarh–Kala Amb area on NH-72 Wednesday night when a dust storm hit the city, police said.

The deceased was identified as Aman Saini, a resident of Trilokpur in Himachal Pradesh. Police said Aman was on his way to Kala Amb from Naraingarh. When he was crossing Hamidpur village, a huge eucalyptus tree got uprooted and fell on him.

"Aman sustained serious head injuries in the incident. The tree was removed with help of a heavy machine and local residents, but Aman died on the spot," a police official said.
