Farrukhabad (UP), Mar 15 (PTI) Two men and a minor were killed on the spot after a high-speed dumper truck allegedly rammed into the motorcycle they were travelling on at a major intersection here early Sunday, police said.
The accident occurred around 1 am at the Nawabganj crossing. The deceased were identified as Pushpendra Kumar (20), Arpit Yadav (18), and Nishu (15), all residents of Kuda Navar in the Naya Gaon area of Etah district.
According to the police, the trio was travelling from Farrukhabad on a motorcycle when a Rajasthan-registered dumper coming from the Mohammadabad route hit them.
“The collision was so severe that after hitting the motorcycle, the dumper crashed into a car parked in front of a shop and uprooted an old tree. The victims were crushed under the wheels of the heavy vehicle and died instantly,” a police official said.
Family members told police that the trio had left home around 8 pm on Saturday. Police are investigating the exact circumstances of their travel at that hour.
Nawabganj SHO Rajiv Kumar reached the spot with a police team, recovered the bodies and sent for post-mortem examination.
The dumper driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle behind. A search is underway to nab the accused, the police added. PTI COR CDN SMV SMV MPL MPL MPL
