<p>A 29-year-old Palghar man was killed after a speeding SUV dashed his motorcycle in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/three-killed-in-navi-mumbai-road-accidents-23353745" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maharashtra's Palghar district</a>, police said on Saturday, reported news agency PTI.</p>
<p>An official said the district rural police arrested the SUV driver, Sachin Suravase, following the accident at Manor on Friday afternoon, reported PTI.</p>
<p>The accident occurred around 2.30 pm when the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/navi-mumbai-man-strangles-girlfriend-and-jumps-to-his-death-23373735" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Palghar man</a>, Sagar Patil, was riding his motorcycle, and a speeding SUV dashed the vehicle, causing him to fall, he said, reported PTI.</p>
<p>Patil suffered severe injuries and died, the official said.</p>
<p>A case under relevant provisions of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/gallery-slab-of-navi-mumbai-building-collapses-70-residents-evacuated-23371634" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita</a> and Motor Vehicles Act has been registered against the accused driver, and further investigation is underway, he said.</p>
