Ahmedabad: Two 20-year-old youths, students of an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) at Bavla, were run over by a car at 3pm on Tuesday. The
accident took place as the car’s tyre burst and the duo, seated by the side of the road, were hit by the vehicle.
Bavla police have registered a case of fatal accident.
According to investigators, Jayesh Jadav, a resident of Tapapara, and Rajan Makwana, a resident of Ramnagar, both villages near Bavla, were seated near the ITI after the day’s classes were over.

Primary investigation revealed that the car’s front tyre had burst right near the spot where the duo was seated and the car driver lost control and hit the duo. Further investigation is under way with help from forensic science experts,” said an investigator.
