The dumper caught fire after the accident
Two people were killed in a gut-wrenching road accident as a two-wheeler crashed against a dumper at Chapar in Assam’s Dhubri district on Sunday.
The incident took place on National Highway 17 near Dhirghat in Dhubri’s Chapar. The two riders on the motorcycle were killed on the spot in the head-on collision.
The impact from the collision was so strong that the dumper caught fire.
The bodies of the deceased were so badly mangled that local authorities were unable to establish their identities.
Meanwhile, fire tenders reached the spot and brought the fire from the dumper under control.
The accident can be attributed to over speeding as both vehicles involved were coming in at great speeds. Notably, in a similar case of rash driving, in Guwahati, one person was killed near Kamakhya Gate area on February 22.
One person died while three others were injured as a Ford Endeavour rammed into an Alto car and a bullet bike.
Following the incident, a heated situation arose in the area after some youths assaulted a traffic constable.
Reports stated that the traffic constable interrupted as some youths came to assault the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident.
