Lack of lighting and absence of signages at the curves led to the accident, say officials.
A total of 672 pedestrians perished in road accidents in the first nine months of this year.
Hyderabad: The accident spot on NH44 where the three youths lost their lives is poorly-lit and did not have signages indicating the curve, said sources. “Had there been proper lighting, the rider could have clearly noticed the divider and averted the accident,” said an official.
