A man and his six-year-old son died after the scooter they were riding on was hit by a truck on the Ghatkopar-Andheri link road Thursday, police said.
The incident took place in Pant Nagar area of suburban Ghatkopar at around 4 pm when one Junaid Sayyad (30) was returning home on a scooter after picking his son Raza (6) from school, a police official said.
A speeding truck rammed into two-wheeler, causing both of them to fall on the road and suffer serious injuries, he said.
They were rushed to hospital where doctors declared the father-son duo dead, the official said.
The police arrested the truck driver, Laxman Jaiswal (46), and booked him under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (causing death due to negligence), he said.
