Bhopa/Maihar, Dec 25 || Three young labourers lost their lives in a devastating road accident near the Gujra toll plaza in Madhya Pradesh's Maihar district.
A speeding motorcycle carrying the trio collided violently with a tractor-trolley parked on the roadside close to the Indian Gas Agency under the Mukundpur police outpost of the district.
The impact was catastrophic, destroying the motorcycle completely and throwing the riders onto the road, where they succumbed to their injuries instantly.
The deceased have been identified as Ankit Sodhia, Deepak Kol, and Nagendra Kol, all residents of Jamuna village, police officials said.
They were returning home after a day's work as labourers in Rewa when tragedy struck on the Bela-Govindgarh road near the Gujra petrol pump.
Preliminary police investigation points to high speed and possible negligence as the primary cause. Also, the trolley had no reflector on it.
