Three members of a family were killed in a devastating road accident after a speeding car collided head-on with their motorcycle in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar district. The incident occurred in the Pattan area under the Hata Kotwali police station limits, and its CCTV footage has surfaced.
The victims were identified as 55-year-old Anirudh, 30-year-old Shalu and 22-year-old Madhuri, all residents of Dumri Sawagipatti village. According to police, the trio had travelled to Gorakhpur on a motorcycle and were returning home when the accident took place.
As they reached the Pattan area, a car coming from the opposite direction allegedly at high speed rammed into their motorcycle. The impact was so severe that all three riders were thrown several metres away, sustaining fatal injuries. They were declared dead at the scene.
