Two women were killed after a speeding truck collided head-on with a motorcycle on the Ahmedabad-Dakor highway in Gujarat’s Kheda district.
The accident took place near Muwadi Patiya in Keshra village, in the Mahemdavad area. The impact of the collision was so severe that both women riding the motorcycle died on the spot.
According to police, pothole-filling work was underway on the Ahmedabad-Dakor road when the accident occurred. Allegations have been raised that adequate safety measures, including barricades, warning signs and proper diversion arrangements, had not been put in place at the site.

The absence of these precautions is suspected to have contributed to the accident, although the circumstances are being investigated.
The loud impact drew a large number of local residents to the spot, and the police were alerted soon after. A police team arrived at the scene, took control of the situation and sent the bodies to a hospital for post-mortem examinations.
Further legal proceedings in the case have been initiated.
