Etah,

11 Jan (HS): Three individuals were killed and another injured after their

motorbikes crashed here, police reported on Sunday. The collision happened on

Saturday night at the Barai Kalyanpur bend in the Awagarh region, with

eyewitnesses reporting that both motorbikes were traveling at high speeds. Due

to the restricted visibility caused by intense fog, the drivers lost control

near the curve, resulting in a head-on crash. According to authorities, the hit

was so strong that all four motorcyclists collapsed on the road. Locals reported

the mishap to authorities, and a team of officers arrived on the scene.

The wounded were transported to

the emergency ward of Veerangana Avantibai Medical College in Etah. Doctors

pronounced Gyan Singh (45), Pradeep (30), and Gaurav (28) dead, while Chhotu

(35) was moved to a higher hospital for treatment, according to Station House

Officer (SHO) Akhilesh Dixit of Awagarh. Police said the bodies had been sent

for a post-mortem examination. Preliminary findings indicate that the accident

was caused by high speed and recklessness, according to the SHO, who added that

an investigation is ongoing.
