The horrific accident was reported when it was passing through Colonelganj in Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda district. Two people, including an elderly woman and a biker, also sustained injuries in the accident.  

The deceased have been identified as Rohan (21) and Shehzad Khan (20), both residents of Nidura villages. According to sources, the speeding vehicle allegedly ran over two-bike borne men when the convoy was heading towards Huzurpur. 

The tragedy unfolded when the SUV driver attempted to overtake and hit the bike-borne men who were on their way from Nidura village to Colonelganj market. The SUV not not only stopped after hitting the men but also rammed into an elderly woman who was sitting outside her house after it hit an electric pole. 

The injured woman, identified as Sita Devi (60), was admitted to a hospital for treatment. The bodies of the deceased have been sent for postmortem.
