Sitapur: A tragic accident occurred in the Ramkot police station area, about 22 kilometers from Sitapur, when a speeding vehicle collided with a motorcycle carrying two young men. The impact was so severe that the motorcycle’s fuel tank burst into flames, engulfing one of the riders.
The deceased has been identified as Gaurav Tiwari (21), while his friend, Siyaraj (23), sustained serious burn injuries. Both were reportedly heading to a factory for their night shift when the accident occurred.
