A fifteen year-old school boy perished in India Monday morning after a runaway water tanker slammed into the side of his car.

According to reports, local police arrested the driver of the tanker immediately following the crash. It is believed that he will be charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rash driving and causing hurt by endangering the life of others under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Arun Jadhav, senior Private Investigator of Goregaon police station was available for comment after the arrest, stating: “The tanker, which was on its way from Malad to Oshiwara, suddenly lost control and rammed into a parked Chevrolet car and hit four pedestrians and a person on a bicycle. The tanker then went on to the footpath, dashed into a signage-making store and came to a halt.”

Jadhav concluded by mentioning the accused will be tested for blood alcohol levels, and the tankers brakes will be thoroughly checked for abnormalities.
