Kurnool: A rescue attempt turned tragic when two persons were killed after a speeding lorry crashed into a group assisting an accident victim on a national highway bridge near Krishna Nagar in Kurnool city late on Tuesday night. Another person had died moments earlier in the initial mishap.
In the first incident, a lorry rammed into a motorcycle around midnight, killing the rider, Kummari Shekhar, on the spot.
As locals and passers-by rushed to help, a second lorry ploughed into the group engaged in rescue operations, killing Bandari Kanna, a resident of Shareen Nagar, and another youth whose identity is yet to be established.
The impact also damaged a few two-wheelers at the scene. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police have registered a case and launched an investigation. Locals said they were shocked by the sequence of events, noting that such back-to-back accidents at the same spot during rescue efforts are rare.
