In a tragic accident, three siblings of one family riding on a motorcycle, were crushed to death by two speeding hyva trucks overtaking each other, on Beed Bypass, today at 9.55 am.

The deceased have been identified as Pratiksha Bhagwan Ambhore (22), Pradeep alias Lakhan Bhagwan Ambhore (25) and Pravin Bhagwan Ambhore (28).

A native of Akoli village in Jintur tehsil, Pravin along with his wife and one year old son was staying in Satara vicinity. Pratiksha, his younger sister, was the lone highly educated female in the Ambhore family. Few months ago, Pratiksha passed entrance tests of Mumbai Police and Department of Forest with flying colours. There was a physical test for the post of forest guard (Vanrakshak) in Shendra vicinity on Thursday. Hence Pratiksha along with her elder brother Pradeep arrived in the city on Wednesday and stayed in the house of Pravin. Today, (on Thursday) at 5 am, the trio went on the motorcycle to the Shendra area. Pratiksha performed the physical test successfully. In a happy mood, the trio left for home on the motorcycle at 9 am. They were returning home via Cambridge Chowk and Jhalta Phata. When they reached Balapur Phata, the motorcycle was sandwiched between two speeding hyva trucks. The truck drivers were driving in speed to overtake each other’s vehicle. In the competition of these irresponsible truck drivers, the motorcycle was hit by one truck and due to impact of the dash, the trio along with the motorcycle slipped under the wheels of another truck. The trio and motorcycle got stuck in the wheels and were dragged till some distance. The trio died on the spot. Their body parts spread on the road. Hyva truck drivers, however, fled away from the spot after the accident. Acting upon the information, the police inspector of Chikalthana police station Ravikiran Darvade reached the spot.
