Fauja Singh was widely considered to be the world’s oldest marathon runner. He was hit by a car in India while crossing the road
His death was confirmed by Khushwant Singh, Punjab’s former state information commissioner, who wrote the runner’s biography, The Turbaned Tornado. “My Turbaned Tornado is no more,” he posted on social media.
In an article by The New Indian Express, Singh’s son Harvinder was quoted as saying: “My father was going for a walk when an unidentified vehicle hit him. He suffered head injuries. We immediately rushed him to a private hospital; however, he succumbed to his injuries.”
