Three killed and four injured in a severe car-truck collision on Tumakuru highway; overspeeding suspected as cause.
Three persons were killed and four others were injured when the car they were travelling in crashed into a truck on National Highway 48 near Nelahaal, in the limits of the Kora police station in Tumakuru district, on Monday.
The deceased have been identified as Aniketh, 42, Abhir, 44, and Sanokthi, 35. The injured victims were rushed to different hospitals.
The police said all the victims were working in a private firm in Bengaluru and had gone on a leisure trip to Gokarna, Murudeshwar, and Udupi during the long weekend. The accident occurred when they were returning to Bengaluru.
Preliminary investigation suggested that the car was overspeeding and rammed the truck from behind, said the police. The impact was severe, leaving the car completely mangled and trapping the occupants inside the vehicle. The police personnel were joined by passers-by and together they rescued the injured.
Traffic movement on the highway was disrupted for some time.
