Nagpur: Three members of a family were killed near Dhamna village on Nagpur-Amravati road after their car rammed into a stationary truck on the roadside from the rear. The accident took place when the Bhure family was returning from Malkapur to their residence in Dighori.
The deceased have been identified as Dr Baburao Bhure, his wife Vanashree and their son Shubham. It’s learnt that Shubham, working with an IT firm in Pune, was behind the wheels. Baburao, who retired as medical officer from Malkapur, was seated beside his son while Vanashree was in the back seat.
It’s learnt that Shubham, the youngest of three siblings, was supposed to return to Pune soon. The Bhure family was staying at their Malkapur house for the last 15 days.
Police and passers-by had a harrowing time in retrieving the victims from the badly damaged car which had turned into a mangled heap of iron and steel after the accident. Vanashree was learnt to be still alive when taken to a hospital but she too was declared dead.
What compelled Shubham to take the vehicle to the extreme left and later, go down where the truck was parked is the question puzzling cops. Family members were alerted by the cops.
An offence was registered against the driver of the parked truck at Hingna police station for causing death due to negligence.
