Two Youths Killed After Motorcycle Crashes Into DJ Vehicle on Prayagraj-Mirzapur Highway
Two young men lost their lives in a tragic road accident on the Prayagraj-Mirzapur Highway in the early hours of Tuesday after their motorcycle rammed into a DJ vehicle near Pachdevara.
The impact of the collision was so severe that the bike was completely mangled, while both riders suffered fatal head injuries and died on the spot.
According to police, the accident took place around 1 am. After the collision, the driver of the DJ vehicle fled the scene along with the vehicle, leaving the victims behind.
The deceased were identified as 25-year-old Ashish, a resident of Kauwa village in Karchhana, and 24-year-old Shivanand Kesarwani, a resident of Triveni Nagar.
Ashish had been living with his family in a rented accommodation at Sarpathiya in Naini. Both worked as cooks at weddings and catering events.
On Tuesday, the two had travelled to the Meja area for work at a function and were returning home when the accident occurred.
Police said neither of the victims was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, leading to severe head injuries that proved fatal.
Ashish was the younger of two brothers, while Shivanand was the second among three siblings. The sudden deaths have left both families devastated and cast a pall of gloom over their neighbourhoods.
