A 24-year-old riding pillion died and the rider was seriously injured when the scooter they were on was hit by a truck on Friday. The two friends were on their way to work in Mumbai.

The two were part of a group of four from Khopoli who used to carpool to work in Mumbai every day. As two of them had dropped out on Friday, Himali Bhobhate, 24, and Ranjit Raj, 25, decided to take Raj's scooter instead.
