In a tragic incident, four persons were killed after their two-wheeler was mowed down by a speeding car on the Gorakhpur-Varanasi National Highway in Uttar Pradesh. The accident, captured on surveillance camera, took place on Sunday at around 10 am.

All the four individuals were riding on a single bike when it was hit by a Grand Vitara, causing two of them to be flung into the air while the other two were dragged on the bonnet for about 100 meters before the vehicle came to a stop.

The accident took place when Sunil Kumar, Pradeep Kumar, Arvind Kumar and Rahul Kumar — all painters and residents of Garthauli Tola in Sidhuwapar gram sabha — were heading towards Gorakhpur city on a single motorcycle, reported Times Of India.

As per the footage, the bike was seen overtaking a tractor-trolley moments before ramming into the oncoming SUV, which was travelling at high speed. At the point of impact, two were flung a few meters into the air before landing on the road, while two got stuck on the car’s front side and were dragged along the highway as the driver failed to stop immediately.

The motorcycle was completely damaged in the collision. The SUV driver fled the scene and has yet to be caught.

Following the accident, locals rushed the victims to a nearby hospital where Pradeep, Sunil, and Arvind were declared dead on arrival. Rahul was referred to the district hospital but succumbed to his injuries on the way.

Among the four deceased, Sunil, Pradeep and Rahul were cousins, while the fourth one, Arvind was Rahul’s friend.

Rahul, the only son of his parents, was supposed to get engaged on June 1, while Sunil left behind his two daughters.

The police have registered a case against the missing driver and the bodies have been sent for postmortem. An investigation is currently underway.

Earlier today, four people, including a woman, were killed and three others were severely injured after a truck collied with an SUV in Barabanki.
