In a heartbreaking road accident in Jharkhand&rsquo;s Khunti district, three members of a family&mdash;including a father and his 20-year-old son&mdash;lost their lives when their bike crashed into a tree on Sunday night.
The incident occurred near Sangor village on the Karra-Birda road, around 45 km from Ranchi. According to police, 48-year-old Rela Minj of Malgo village was riding the motorcycle with his son Abhishek Minj and nephew Rohit Minj when he reportedly lost control at high speed. The vehicle veered off the road and smashed into a tree with great force.
None of the three victims were wearing helmets, and the impact flung them off the bike. Locals alerted the police, and all three were rushed to a hospital in Karra, where doctors declared them dead on arrival. The bodies were later sent to Khunti Sadar Hospital for post-mortem.
In a separate incident the same day in Lohardaga, 62-year-old Chandan Bharti was fatally hit by a speeding truck near Powerganj Chowk. Bharti, a retired school manager, was riding a motorcycle when the collision occurred. He died on the spot. Police have launched an investigation.
