Three teenagers died on Wednesday when the motorcycle they were on crashed into a stationary Tata Ace vehicle on National Highway 67 near Bannikoppa village in Koppal district. All three were from Naragund in Gadag district and were travelling to Koppal for Eid Milad celebrations.

The deceased are Mabusaab Budenasab Matageri (17), Fakrusaab Hasansaab (18) and Shanusaab Muktamsaab (15). The impact killed them on the spot, with their bodies said to have been scattered on the road. A case has been filed at Kukunur police station, and an investigation is ongoing.
The National Highway 67 stretch near Koppal has seen a rise in fatal accidents, often involving two-wheelers and parked or slow-moving commercial vehicles. Local traffic police records show that many such crashes occur at night or on poorly lit curves, though this incident happened during daytime. Neither the driver of the stationary Tata Ace nor the owner of the vehicle has been named as an accused yet, pending investigation. Kukunur police will now examine whether the parked vehicle was left without hazard lights or warning triangles, which is required under Motor Vehicles Rules. The next step is a site inspection and the filing of a closure or chargesheet within the 90-day limit.
