Jamshedpur, Jan 10: Three youths, including a minor, were killed and one seriously injured when the scooter they were riding rammed into a stationary dumper on the Hata–Mosabani road under Mosabani thana area, about 35 km from Jamshedpur, on Friday night.

Returning Home From Relative’s House
Police said all four were returning home from a relative’s house in Mosabani. While negotiating the poorly lit road, the scooter rider failed to notice the stationary dumper, leading to a direct collision.
The scooter was reportedly at a moderately high speed, and the impact was so severe that the two-wheeler was badly mangled, killing three riders on the spot.
The dumper had reportedly broken down and was standing on the road. Its driver had neither switched on the breakdown lights nor placed any warning signs, police said.
Police Rush Injured to Hospital
Mosabani thana Officer-in-Charge Anuj Kumar Singh reached the spot soon after the incident and rushed the injured Rahul Karmakar to a local government health facility. He was later referred to MGM Medical College Hospital for better treatment.
Police recovered the bodies and shifted them to the medical college mortuary for post-mortem examination.
By late night, grieving family members reached the hospital and mortuary, as the tragic incident plunged the area into shock.
