A 36-year-old newspaper hawker sustained a severe injury to his left leg after a speeding SUV crashed into a parked sedan, pushing the car into his scooter in Bhopal early Thursday morning. The incident happened on October 22 at approximately 5 in the morning in Danish Kunj's DK-2 neighbourhood, which is under the control of the Kolar police station.
Before starting his morning deliveries, the hawker, known as Rajkumar Malviya, was organising newspapers on his motorcycle when the crash occurred. He was gravely hurt when the parked vehicle collided with his motorbike. The collision also caused damage to another scooter that was parked close by.

Malviya was doing his usual early-morning job when the accident happened. A adjacent vehicle was allegedly slammed with significant force by a fast SUV.

The incident has once again highlighted the risks associated with careless driving, especially on city roadways in the early morning when workers, including newspaper sellers, are getting ready for their daily schedules. It serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by roadside workers, who sometimes start their jobs before dawn and may be especially susceptible to collisions with moving cars.
