Patna, Dec 25 || Two men, preparing for the Bihar Police recruitment in Rohtas district, were killed in a road accident due to fog on Thursday.
The incident occurred in Samhuta village under the Rohtas police station area, when an out-of-control truck crushed the men to death while they were jogging along the roadside.
According to police, the accident occurred during the early morning hours when poor visibility due to heavy fog prevented the truck driver from noticing the youths. The speeding truck fled the scene after the incident.
The deceased have been identified as Ashish Kumar, a resident of Munji village in Karakat, and Ranjan Yadav, a resident of Samhuta.
Ashish Kumar died on the spot, while Ranjan Yadav was rushed to Varanasi in critical condition, where he later succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
