Chamarajanagar: Three minor boys were killed in a collision between a two-wheeler and a lorry, on the road connecting Karivaradarajana Betta, on the national highway, in Chamarajanagar, on Saturday.
The deceased are Mehran (13), Rayan (8) and Faizal (11). Another boy, Adan Pasha (9), is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mysuru, and is said to be critical.
It is said that all the four were riding on a two wheeler, when they rammed into a lorry coming in the opposite direction.
The tragedy could have been averted if the parents had not allowed them to ride the two-wheeler, as they are all below 13 years, and it is an offence. The parents should consider this seriously to avoid such tragedies, said Superintendent of Police B T Kavitha.
