Coimbatore: A tragic accident on the Udumalpet National Highway in Pollachi claimed the lives of two young men when a lorry collided with their two-wheeler. The incident occurred near the Minnagar area, where a government bus had stopped to drop off passengers.

As the bus was stationary, two youth on a two-wheeler attempted to overtake it. Suddenly, a lorry coming from behind collided with the two-wheeler. The impact caused the riders to lose balance and fall onto the road. In a horrific turn of events, the lorry's wheels ran over both individuals, crushing them to death on the spot.
