Haridwar: 3 killed, 6 injured as 4 motorcycles collide on Kanwar route
Three people were killed and six injured after four motorcycles collided on Haridwar’s Kanwar Patri amid poor visibility due to darkness and rain, police said.
Three individuals lost their lives and six others sustained injuries when four motorcycles crashed on the Kanwar route in Haridwar’s Kaliyar area on a Friday night, according to police reports. The collision occurred on the Kaliyar road, also called the Kanwar Patri in the state of Uttarakhand, amid low visibility caused by darkness and rain, stated police officers.
The incident unfolded when two motorcycles moving in opposite directions collided head-on, followed by two other bikes that were traveling behind crashing into the vehicles. The police swiftly responded upon receiving news of the accident, with teams from Civil Lines and Kaliyar police stations arriving at the scene to initiate a rescue operation.
Three young men perished in the accident, while six others were injured. Postmortem examinations were conducted for the deceased, and the authorities are currently handling the necessary legal procedures.
The deceased were identified as Ayan, aged 18, from Bijauli; Raju Singh, 24, from Rehmatpur; and Rajeev Singh, 22, from Saharanpur. Among the six injured, Aditya Chandra, 24, from Khanjanpur, faced critical injuries and was transferred to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rishikesh for further medical care. This accident occurred in the wake of another tragic event, where four people were killed and three others injured when an Eco van collided with a vehicle parked on the roadside near Manimai temple on the Haridwar highway in Doiwala, Dehradun, just a few days prior.
