Tragic Scooter Accident in Pune: Man Loses Life Due to Pothole

A 61-year-old man tragically lost his life in Pune's Aundh district after an accident caused by a pothole, local police reported on Friday. The victim, Jagannath Kashinath Kale, was en route to his home on July 30th when his scooter lost balance due to the road condition.

Police officials detailed the unfortunate event, revealing that Kale fell off his scooter after hitting a mid-sized pothole - a gap forming between the road and adjacent paving blocks. This fall led him to be tragically run over by a car that was approaching from behind, as captured on CCTV.

The footage, which emerged later in the week, has triggered authorities to initiate the process of filing a First Information Report (FIR) as investigations continue. Confirmations from officials suggest that appropriate legal measures will be enforced as the inquiry develops.
