The accident occurred when a lorry hit three tenth standard students and killed them who were travelling in a bike at Uppal bus-stop the previous night.

Moreover, the students were studying in Sree Chaitanya Residential School at Medipally on city outskirts and they were reportedly returning to Uppal after attending special study classes on Thursday night.

According to the Uppal Inspector Laxmikantha Reddy, Thursday was the birthday of a student Omkar and that they were told he and two of his classmates Bhagtwant Reddy and Hari Krishna started on a bike late in the night.

The accident occurred at Uppal bus-stop around 11 p.m.

According to the Inspector, the students past the lorry at a great speed and just while they overtook the truck, they tried stop while trying to avoid hitting a pedestrian walking. Even though, the bike skid, they fell down and ran over by the truck.

He added that they came under the rear wheels and that death was instant for Omkar, while Bhagwanth Reddy died on the way to the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences and Hari Krishna succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at Matrix hospital.

Quiet sadly, their bodies were shifted to Gandhi hospital for conducting postmortem examination.

It's really mournful!

We must not forget, speed thrills but kills and therefore rethinking is inevitable!
