A 60-year-old man was killed and another seriously injured after being hit by a speeding car with blue beacon light on the Lucknow-Faizabad national highway here, police said today.
Ram Samujh was going on his bicycle alongwith Ram Kumar when the car, on its way to Lucknow from Faizabad, hit them from the rear side last night, police said.
While Ram Samujh died on the spot, Kumar landed on top of the car due to the impact and fell down about three kms ahead at the Ram Sanehi Ghat toll plaza even as the four wheeler sped away.
Those on highway patrol duty rushed the injured to the district hospital, police said.
Meanwhile, the car has been traced and seized with the help of CCTV footage and the driver, Arun Kumar, has been arrested today, police said, adding the investigations are on.
Government officials of the rank of IAS, IPS and other civil services are eligible for official cars bearing blue beacons.
