Hyderabad, April 19: Triple and rash driving proved fatal for three youngsters.
The trio, inter students of various colleges, died after their bike rammed into a roadside tree near Ghatkesar on Sunday afternoon while they were returning from Yadagirigutta temple after darshan.
The three, from Bapu Nagar locality in Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar, left for Yadagirigutta in the early hours.
“The students were returning to the city when their Honda Unicorn vehicle hit a roadside palm tree. They were reportedly going at a high speed and the driver lost control of the vehicle at a steep curve,” Ghatkesar police inspector Ch Srikanth said.
The accident took place at the bend near the NTPC Crossroads between 12 noon and 12.30 p.m.
Two of them, Deeraj Chand (17) and Mani Kumar (18), died instantly while the third, M Pavan Kumar (19), died while being shifted to hospital.
Police suspect that Deeraj Chand might be driving the vehicle as it belongs to his father. “We suspect that there were some other friends too accompanying them but they were not coming forward to speak about the incident,” the inspector said.
