Two Killed in Chandrapur-Nagpur Highway Collision A tragic collision on the Chandrapur-Nagpur highway near Nanduri Takli village in Warora tehsil claimed the lives of two young men and left two others seriously injured. The incident occurred on Sunday night around 8 p.m., when a motorcycle collided with a goods pickup vehicle. The motorcycle riders, identified as Mayur Hadke and Chandu Walde, both residents of Khamgaon, died on the spot from the high-impact crash. The pickup driver, Akshay There, and his co-passenger Raghunath Dakhore of Ambhora sustained critical injuries and were rushed to Warora sub-district hospital for treatment. The accident caused severe traffic congestion on the busy highway, with vehicle queues stretching for kilometers and leaving commuters stranded for several hours. Local authorities reported that the collision highlighted ongoing challenges with road safety, as residents blamed the incident on inadequate road repair work, poor diversion planning, and insufficient barricading along the route. These factors, they argued, have increased the risk of accidents in the area. Police conducted a preliminary inquiry and collected evidence through a panchnama (a formal record of the incident). The bodies of the deceased were sent for postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. An official investigation is underway to assess the circumstances of the crash and identify any lapses in road safety measures. The incident has sparked discussions about the need for improved infrastructure and traffic management in the region. Locals expressed frustration over the lack of proper signage and the failure to address long-standing maintenance issues on the highway. Authorities have been urged to prioritize safety upgrades to prevent similar tragedies in the future.#khamgaon #chandrapur_nagpur_highway #nanduri_takli_village #warora_tehsil #ambhora
