In a gory road mishap, three persons, including two children, were killed on the spot, and a woman critically injured, when their two-wheeler was knocked down by a speeding lorry at Thanamitta village of Kurabalakota mandal, 15 km from Madanapalle, on Monday evening.
According to the Mudivedu police, a woman and her two children were riding pillion on a two-wheeler being ridden by the woman’s brother. Hailing from Yeddularipalle village of neighbouring Tamballapalle mandal, they were on their way to Madanapalle when a lorry going towards Rayachoti hit the scooter from the rear. The impact of the accident was so severe that the mangled scooter was stuck beneath the lorry, and the bodies disfigured beyond recognition.
Police said visibility was low as it was raining heavily in the area at the time of the accident.
