A police officer sustained an arm fracture after being struck by a speeding motorcyclist who failed to stop at a checkpoint in Himachal Pradesh’s Sujanpur area on Friday.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that the incident unfolded near Bhaleth Bridge as Head Assistant Sub-Inspector Arvind Kumar attempted to signal the motorcyclist to halt for routine inspection. Instead of complying, the rider allegedly increased speed, colliding with the officer and causing him to fall to the ground.
Other police personnel at the scene promptly transportedASI Kumar to Sujanpur Hospital for immediate medical attention. Following an initial assessment and treatment at Sujanpur Hospital, doctors recommended further care at the Medical College in Hamirpur. Medical professionals there applied a cast to his fractured arm.
