Nagpur: The Second Capital City of Nagpur unfailingly continues to grab headlines for fatal road accidents even as four persons, including a mother-son duo, were killed in two separate mishaps on Tuesday (September 8) morning. The spurt in road accidents and the number of fatalities has raised question marks over the traffic management and the role of cops.

The powerful impact resulted in serious injuries to both Manoj and his friend and they died on the spot. The collision was so forceful that the motorcycle was reduced to mangles of steel.

The driver of the killer truck reportedly sped away from the spot without bothering the fate of the two victims. After completing paper formalities, the cops sent bodies of Manoj and his friend to a Government hospital for post-mortem and investigating the matter further.
