They rammed into an oncoming motorcycle on which a seeds company lorry driver Someswara Rao, 36, and his supervisor Ratnakar Rao were going to their client's office.

Instantaneous death

While Ratnakar Rao, who was riding pillion, sustained serious injuries, death was instant for the other three, Petbasheerabad Sub-Inspector Srinath Reddy said.
