A tragic road accident late Tuesday night has claimed the lives of two young cousins in the Barmer district of Rajasthan. The fatal collision occurred near Meethe Ka Tala village, within the jurisdiction of the Dhanau police station.
Details of the Fatal Collision
The victims, identified as Harish, aged 22, and Pemaram, aged 26, were residents of Booth Rathoran village. They were returning home on a motorcycle when the horrifying incident took place. According to police reports, their bike rammed into a tractor that was moving ahead of them on the same road.
Officer Deep Singh from Dhanau police station stated that poor visibility due to darkness was the primary factor that led to the collision. The impact was severe, causing both men to fall off the motorcycle. Tragically, they succumbed to their injuries and were declared dead at the spot itself.
Immediate Aftermath and Response
Alert local residents who reached the accident site quickly informed the police. The bodies were then rushed to the mortuary at Dhanau Hospital. The necessary legal and medical procedures were initiated promptly.
Post-mortem examinations were conducted on Wednesday, following which the remains were handed over to the grieving families for the last rites. The community of Booth Rathoran village has been plunged into mourning by this sudden loss.
Profiles of the Deceased and Families Left Behind
Both Harish and Pemaram were engaged in farming and labour work to support their families. They were both married men with young children, making their untimely deaths even more devastating for their dependents.
Pemaram is survived by his wife and three children, which include two daughters. Harish leaves behind his wife and two young daughters. The accident has not only ended two promising lives but has also created an uncertain future for two families who have lost their primary breadwinners.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers on rural roads, especially during night travel when visibility is low. It underscores the critical need for heightened road safety measures and awareness among all vehicle users.
