The G Division traffic police registered a case and began searching for the driver.
In another crash near Piplaj, 33-year-old Dipkumar Chauhan was travelling by motorcycle with his friend Gautamsingh Rajput towards Motipura Crossroads on the 19th. Police said a speeding tempo coming from the opposite direction hit the motorcycle, throwing both riders onto the road. The tempo’s tyre ran over Chauhan, killing him at the scene. Rajput suffered head and left-leg injuries and was taken to hospital. The K Division traffic police registered a case against the tempo driver and launched an investigation.
A third fatal crash took place on the SP Ring Road, where 23-year-old Vipul Thakor, a resident of Vav-Tharad, was crossing the road on a motorcycle after arriving in Ahmedabad from Mehsana on the 19th. A truck hit him, and he later died while undergoing treatment. The L Division traffic police registered a case and began investigating the circumstances of the collision.
The fourth death was reported near the Vyaspadi canal in Naroda.

The four cases involve different road settings and vehicle types, but each resulted in serious consequences for people travelling on foot or on two-wheelers. The reported allegations include speeding, a hit-and-run, a truck collision and wrong-side movement. The traffic police investigations are expected to establish the sequence of events and responsibility in each case.
