According to police, Javed Musharraf’s bike collided with a front-end loader clearing snow on December 15, 2022 near Mission Street and Plinguet Street in St Boniface, Winnipeg.
A community vigil was held in Canada for a 22-year-old Indian cyclist from Hyderabad who died after his bike collided with a snowplough last month.
According to police, Javed Musharraf’s bike collided with a front-end loader clearing snow on December 15, 2022 near Mission Street and Plinguet Street in St Boniface, Winnipeg.
Musharraf, a Red River College Polytechnic automotive technology student, moved to Winnipeg about two years ago.
He was a “really kind, really supportive guy,” according to Abdul Ahad, who attended the vigil at the University of Manitoba.
Musharraf’s family members were unable to attend his funeral at the Winnipeg Grand Mosque, according to Ahad.
“We hope he’s in a better place,” he told the news outlet.
According to police, two off-duty officers witnessed the collision and rendered emergency aid to Musharraf until paramedics arrived and pronounced him dead on the scene.
So far, no charges have been filed against the driver.
Kartik Saini, 20, of Haryana, was hit and dragged by a pickup truck while cycling across a pedestrian crosswalk in Toronto last November.
