Hyderabad: Speeding students on bike hit divider, killed

Hyderabad: Two intermediate students were killed in an accident at Necklace Road in Ramgopalpet on Tuesday evening.

According to the police, the victims were identified as Nikhil, 17, and Prashanth, 18, both Biology students of Chaitanya Junior College in Narayanguda, and were residents of Chintal Basti in Khairatabad, police said.

Speaking about the accident, Ramgopalpet police inspector T. Chanchala Babu said that they lost control of the bike and hit the divider.

“They were heading towards Minister Road when they lost control of the bike they were on and hit the road divider. As the volume of traffic is less on that road, the bike was being ridden in a high speed and the impact with which they hit the divider was so much that Nikhil died on the spot.

Prashanth was rushed to KIMS Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment,” said the official.

A case was booked by the Ramgopalpet Police and the bodies were shifted for post-mortem.
