Cuttack: A cyclist was killed after being struck by an SUV on Cuttack-Chandbali under construction road under Nischintakoili police limits on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Dharanidhar Singh.

Singh, a resident of Haladharpur village was returning home after completing some work in a neighbouring village in the afternoon, when the mishap took place. Driver of a speeding Mahindra Bolero drove the vehicle extremely right and ended up hitting the victim.

Singh, who sustained critical injury in the crash, was immediately rushed to Nischintakoili CHC where doctors declared him brought dead.

Angry locals staged a blockade on Cuttack-Chandbali Road following the accident and demanded suitable compensation to the kin of the deceased. They also claimed that the inordinate delay in the completion of the road construction work is taking its toll on the commuters.

The blockade was removed after police reached the spot and assured people of action.
