RANCHI: Three persons were killed when a truck rammed into a car on national highway 33 near Jamchua under Namkum police station area around 12:30am on Thursday night. The car was coming from Jamshedpur while the truck carrying rice bags was headed towards Jamshedpur. The collision was so powerful that all the three occupants of the car – Snadeep Singh, 30, Ravi Soni, 28, and Gandhi Mallik 28, were killed on the spot.The bodies of the deceased were trapped inside the vehicle which was badly mangled after the accident.
Sub inspector A K Dubey, who visited the accident site, said a turn on the under-construction highway seems to be the reason behind the accident. “The vehicles have a take a turn on the road. The turn has been created due to the road being under construction. The vehicles run usually in high speed and come into the right side while taking the turn. As it was turning the truck coming from opposite direction rammed into it,” he said.
The driver and cleaner of the truck escaped from the spot.
The three deceased hail from Jamshedpur. Sandeep Singh runs a mobile retail agency where Gandhi Mallik worked as a staff and Ravi Soni was a friend of Sandeep. “The relatives of the deceased came to reclaim the bodies early morning. The bodies were given after postmortem,” Dubey said.
