Three young men died in a road accident late Saturday night after their motorcycle crashed into a stationary, broken-down truck on Kotkapura road in Faridkot. The victims' families alleged that the truck had no indicators, reflectors or warning signs, making it nearly invisible in the darkness.
Victims identified
The deceased were identified as Navjot Singh (30), Ravi (28) and Jasvinder Jass (24), all residents of Dogar Basti and close friends. They were returning home after attending a wedding function in Kotkapura when their motorcycle crashed into the rear of the stranded truck.
Allegations of negligence
Families of the victims have alleged that the truck driver failed to place any warning signs or reflectors on the vehicle, which was parked on the road without lights. According to them, the lack of visibility contributed directly to the crash.
The incident occurred around midnight, and police have registered a case. Investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the accident.
