Tragedy on Highway: Three Amethi Youths Killed in Horrific Crash
Three young men from Amethi were killed after their motorcycle crashed into a ditch on the Sultanpur-Dhammour highway.
A wave of grief has swept through Ramapur village in Amethi after three young men lost their lives in a devastating road accident on the Sultanpur-Dhammour highway. The victims, who were returning home after a day of hard labor, met with a fatal crash that has left three families shattered.
The Fatal Incident
The accident occurred on Monday evening near a graveyard past Amhat. The three youths were traveling on a Rider motorcycle when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The bike veered off the road and plunged into a roadside ditch, causing severe injuries to all passengers.
According to reports, two of the youths died instantly at the scene. The third individual was rushed to a medical facility in critical condition; however, he succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday at a higher medical center in Lucknow.
Identifying the Victims
The deceased have been identified as residents of Ramapur village, under the Piparpur Gram Panchayat in the Bhetua block of Amethi district:
- Vishal Kori (17): Son of Jhallar Kori.
- Ishu Kori (20): Son of Dal Bahadur Kori (also known as Kallu).
- Rohit (17): Son of Harish Chandra.
Breadwinners Lost to Tragedy
The three youths were not just sons but the primary hopes for their families. They had been working in Sultanpur, where they were skilled in shuttering, putting, painting, and net-binding work. They were returning home from their workplace when the accident happened.
The impact on the families is profound, as the fathers of all three victims are daily wage laborers. Ishu Kori, the eldest of four siblings, was a pillar of support for his family through his manual labor and was the owner of the motorcycle involved in the crash.
Families in Mourning
The homes of the deceased are currently filled with mourning and shock. Vishal, who had an older brother and sister who are already married, leaves behind a distraught mother, Meena. Ishu's mother, Rangita, remains in a state of shock, while Rohit's mother, Sangeeta, is grieving the loss of her son.
None of the three youths were married, and their parents had pinned their dreams and future stability on their hard-working sons.
As of Tuesday, the families were still waiting for the bodies to reach their village to perform the final rites.
