Hyderabad, October 02: Two security guards, hailing from Assam, were crushed to death by a water tanker at Bachupally on the outskirts of the city on Wednesday morning. The duo, Naren Borah and Vipul Kumar, both aged 19, were working as security guards at the Chaitanya Junior College for Girls, a kilometre away from Bachupally.
According to the police, the duo left for the college on their two-wheeler on Wednesday morning from their house at Rajiv Gandhi Nagar in Bachupally. A few feet from the college, a water tanker overtook their two-wheeler and in the process the vehicle reportedly hit the handle bar of the motorcycle.
“The motorists lost control over the vehicle and fell down when the rear wheels of the water tanker crushed them,” Dundigal sub-inspector of police Vikram Singh said quoting eyewitnesses. The driver of the water tanker abandoned the vehicle and fled from the spot.
