Guwahati: Two youths died when their car flipped over on the Majuli-Bogibeel Maatmora embankment in Assam early Thursday. The crash happened at 12:25 am on the Sisi-Tekeliphuta stretch as the group traveled from Majuli toward Bogibeel Bridge. Pradan Abaruah and Bichitra Bora died at the scene.
Three other occupants, identified as Biswajeet Khanikar, Amarjyoti Saikia, and Biswajeet Saikia, suffered serious injuries. All five men lived in Mazgaon village, located in Bebejia under the Dhakuakhana co-district. They were heading home after a trip to Majuli when the speeding Alto, registered as AS 01 FG 2722, veered off the road.
Survivor Amarjyoti Saikia suspects the driver dozed off. "He suspected that the driver might have fallen asleep at the wheel," said Saikia, who phoned for an ambulance immediately after the wreckage settled. Dhakuakhana police arrived to investigate the crash site.
Responders transported the deceased to Lakhimpur Medical College and Hospital for post-mortem exams. Doctors transferred the critically wounded Biswajeet Saikia to Assam Medical College and Hospital in Dibrugarh for specialized care.
