Three killed, four injured as car carrying pre-wedding shoot group overturns in East Burdwan

Burdwan, Oct 27 (UNI) Three persons were killed and four injured when a car carrying a group for a pre-wedding photoshoot overturned after hitting a motorcycle near Jharna Morh on the Burdwan-Suri highway (NH-114A) in Bhatar, East Burdwan, around midday on Tuesday.
The would-be bride and groom, however, escaped unhurt, police said.
According to police, a goat suddenly came in front of the speeding car. While trying to avoid the animal, the driver lost control, hit a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction from Guskara town and the vehicle overturned into a roadside ditch.

Three persons were declared dead on arrival, while the remaining four were admitted to a private nursing home in Burdwan town. Bhatar police have started an investigation.
The district has witnessed a spate of fatal road accidents in recent weeks. On October 21, three persons — Kamakhya Roy (61), Narugopal Roy (45) and Srikanta Roy (41), all residents of Bajitpur village under Raina police station — were killed when a lorry hit their motorcycle in front of a petrol pump at Mirepota on State Highway 7, which connects Burdwan and Arambagh.
