An eighteen-year-old student was killed and another sustained grievous injury after a two-wheeler they were riding on met with an accident in Jammu and Kasmir’s Doda district.
The accident happened on late Saturday night when two boys-said to be students of Higher Secondary School Bhaderwah, were returning from a picnic and their bike skidded off the road and fell into a deep gorge on Bhaderwah-Basholi highway.
Soon after the accident, both the boys-biker and his pillion rider were rescued by the locals and subsequently evacuated to Sub-district hospital Bhaderwah.
