Motihari, Two people lost their lives in a horrific road accident on NH-27 of East-West Corridor in Kotwa police station area of ​​Motihari district. An uncontrolled truck crushed the crane (Kiran) driver and assistant driver near Bangra Chowk on Tuesday morning, killing them on the spot. The deceased have been identified as Irbaz Alam (25), resident of Piprakothi and Prithvinath Sah (30), resident of Panditpur.

According to the information, the accident occurred when a pickup vehicle loaded with milk overturned near Belwa Chowk on NH-27. To remove it, a Kiran (crane) was called from Piprakothi, which was being operated by Prithvinath Sah and Irbaz Alam. When the Kiran developed a technical fault at Bangra Chowk, the driver and assistant driver got down to fix it. At the same time, a truck coming from behind at high speed hit them hard and both died on the spot.
After the incident, the angry villagers along with the relatives of the deceased blocked NH 27 demanding compensation. Traffic was disrupted for three hours, leading to long queues of vehicles on the East-West Corridor. The administration and local public representatives, including Piprakothi Mukhiya Hemant Kumar and Kotwa Gopi Chapra Mukhiya representative Umakant Singh, persuaded the protesters and got the blockade removed.
It is being told that Irbaaz Alam was the only earning member of his family and was unmarried. He had four younger brothers and elderly parents, whom he used to support. His mother Nashima Khatoon became very upset after crying, because her dream was to see her son in Sehra, which will never be fulfilled now.
On the other hand, Prithvinath Sah is survived by his wife and four children (three daughters and a son). His wife Reena Devi is in deep sorrow after her husband's death. There is no one left in the family who can raise the children. Reena Devi was fainting frequently and her condition was very pathetic.

At the same time, after pressure from the protesters, the administration assured compensation and proper help to the families of the deceased. However, this tragic accident has left a deep shock on both the families.
