Sundargarh: At least two persons were killed on the spot and four others sustained grievous injuries in two separate incidents of road mishap in Sundargarh district, today.
The first incident was reported from a place near Barhakhai village under Lephripada police limits in the district. One of the deceased persons was identified as Rikash Naik, who belonged to Kulaba village, and another as Birendra Mahanandia, who belonged to Telendihi village.
Rikash and Birendra met with a fatal accident when they were on their way elsewhere in the district on a motorcycle in the afternoon. A speeding car (bearing registration number OD-16 L-2064) hit them from the front leading to their untimely death, an eyewitness expressed.
In the second incident, four persons were critically injured as the car in which they were travelling had a head-on collision with a Hyva truck near Timajhola under Laxmipur police limits.
The injured were identified as Sibaram Acharya, Dinesh Mishra, Bimal Choudhury, and Subir Sahoo. All of them have sustained injuries on their heads and hands. The youths were rescued by some locals and were immediately sent to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The four youths were initially admitted to the health facility in Laxmipur and were later shifted to SLN Hospital after their health conditions deteriorated.
The four hail from Gumagaon of Tentulikhunti block of Nabarangpur district. They were returning from Bhubaneswar to Nabarangpur by car. Perhaps, the accident occurred due to poor visibility because of fog on the road, a private source said.
Local police teams have launched separate probes into the accidents, which are underway.
