Three students killed in Pithampur truck collision

Three students from St. Francis School were killed in a high-speed collision involving a truck on the Mhow-Neemuch Highway near Pithampur, Dhar district. The victims, identified as Priyansh Rajak, Moksh Rajak, and Arushi Rajak, were traveling by motorcycle when an uncontrolled truck struck them near Mahendra Bridge.

The accident occurred around 2:00 PM on Thursday. According to family members, the children were traveling by bike because a local protest near Royal Town Colony had prevented the school bus from arriving. The impact was severe, dragging the motorcycle approximately 10 meters and resulting in the immediate deaths of all three children.

Local police arrived at the scene to recover the bodies and have sent them for post-mortem examinations. A case has been registered against the truck driver.
