Gorakhpur: Four youths died in a tragic accident on Saturday morning in Barhalganj on Varanasi Highway.

All these youths were from the same village and were returning to their home in Garthauli Tola of Sidhuapar on Apache bike.

Just then a speeding Grand Vitara car coming towards the city hit them from the front. The collision was so severe that both the bike and the car were shattered.

On Saturday morning at 9:30, Sunil Kumar son of Radhe, Pradumna Kumar, Arvind Kumar son of Harishchandra and Rahul Kumar son of Karan of Garthauli Tola, Sidhuapar village were returning home on the four-lane road on the same bike.

As soon as they crossed the highway and turned to go to Sidhuapar, a speeding car coming from Gorakhpur hit them.

The bike got damaged at the accident spot itself and the youths were seriously injured.

With the help of local people, everyone was immediately brought to the Community Health Center (CHC), where doctors declared Sunil, Pradumna and Arvind dead.

While seriously injured Rahul Kumar was referred to the district hospital after first aid.

4 Identified
Sunil Kumar (son of Radhe), Pradhuman Kumar, Arvind Kumar (son of Harishchandra), and Rahul Kumar (son of Karan) - these four friends were residents of Garthauli Tola of Sidhuapar village.

On Saturday morning around 9:30, these four were returning home on the same Apache bike via the four-lane.

Amidst laughter and dreamy talks, their lives reached a point from where there was no return. As soon as the bike crossed the highway and turned towards Sidhuapar, a speeding Grand Vitara car coming from Gorakhpur hit it from the front. There was mourning after the collision, three died on the spot.

The collision was so severe that the bike broke into pieces.

Sunil, Pradhuman, and Arvind died on the spot, while Rahul was struggling between life and death. The locals immediately rushed them to the Community Health Centre (CHC), but doctors declared the three friends dead. Rahul was referred to the district hospital after first aid in a serious condition, where his condition remains critical.

Arvind's incomplete return
This accident has brought mourning in Sidhuapar village. The most touching story is of Arvind, who had returned from Bangkok just a week ago. There was an atmosphere of happiness in the family, but who knew that this happiness would be so short-lived. There is silence in Arvind's house now, and the flood of tears from his mother's eyes is not stopping. There is chaos in the families of the four friends, and only one question is echoing everywhere in the village - "Why did this happen?"

Road safety under question
This accident is not only a personal tragedy, but also raises questions on road safety. Four people riding on the same bike and a speeding car going out of control - both these reasons became the reason for this accident. Villagers say that high speed vehicles are a frequent danger on the highway, and such accidents are not stopping.
