The deceased have been identified as:
- P Raju (28) from Armoor
- K Santhosh (26) from Armoor
- K Naresh (27) from Velpur
- P Praveen (28) from Jakranpally
All four victims were residents of different areas in Telangana's Nizamabad district and were reportedly returning from a trip when the accident occurred.
Emergency Response and Investigation
Local authorities immediately rushed to the scene upon receiving information about the crash. The Bidar Rural Police have registered a case and initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to this fatal collision.
"The stationary truck was parked on the roadside when the car collided with it from behind," stated a police official familiar with the ongoing investigation.
Growing Concerns About Road Safety
