Two college students were killed after their two-wheeler lost control and crashed into an electric post at Parappu on the Kattappana–Kuttikkanam hill highway near Kattappana in Idukki in the early hours of Friday (October 30). The deceased have been identified as Sanif Salim, 19, a resident of Nirappelkada, Marykulam, and Noyal Anish (18), a resident of Thonithadi, Aalady. Both were undergraduate students at JPM College, Lebbakkada, near Kattappana.
According to the police, the accident occurred around 1:20 a.m. on Friday. The youths were travelling from Aalady toward Kattappana. As they reached the Parappu auto stand on the highway, the rider lost control of the two-wheeler, causing it to skid onto the road and slam into an electric post.
A highway patrol team along with local residents rushed to the spot and shifted the victims to a private hospital in Kattappana. Doctors declared one youth dead on arrival, while the other succumbed to injuries shortly after reaching the hospital. The bodies were handed over to the relatives following post-mortem examinations.
