Kaushambi,

13 Dec (HS): A man and his wife perished when their motorbike collided with a

roadside tree in this region on their way home from a feast, authorities

reported on Saturday. Authorities cited low visibility owing to fog in the

region leading to be likely cause of mishap. Mahesh Prasad, SHO of Charwa

police station, said the motorbike lost control and crashed into a mango tree

late Friday night on the Manouri-Bharwari road near Samaspur village. The

accident was so violent that the husband, Ajay (25), and his wife, Radha Devi

(23), both from Pantalwa village in Prayagraj district, perished on the scene.

The SHO stated that after the feast, Ajay was driving his wife, Radha Devi, to

her parents' home in Mitwapur village when the event occurred. Radha's mother

was riding another motorbike a little distance ahead of her when the tragedy

occurred. When she heard a loud impact, she glanced back to see her daughter

and son-in-law laying on the side of the road, authorities said. When the

police received the information, they went to the scene and sent the remains

for post-mortem.
