A tragic road accident on Saligao road early Wednesday claimed the lives of two young men and left two others critically injured following a collision between two two-wheelers.
The deceased have been identified as Omkar Karapurkar (25), a resident of Madel-Thivim, and Mohammad Fraz (30), a native of Assam. Both were declared dead at the scene due to the severity of the impact.
The accident occurred under unclear circumstances, and authorities are currently investigating the exact cause of the collision. The two surviving individuals, who sustained serious injuries, were rushed to a nearby hospital and remain under critical care.
The incident has once again highlighted the growing concerns over road safety in the region, particularly involving two-wheelers. Police have urged motorists to exercise caution and adhere to traffic norms, especially on narrow and high-risk stretches like the Saligao road.
