OUT OF SHAPE: Mangled remains of a van that collided head on with a private bus at Podhupatti near Palani on Wednesday. PALANI: Eight persons, including three women of a family, were killed on the spot when their van proceeding to Udumalpet from Porulur collided head on with a bus at Podhupatti village, 20 km away from here, on Wednesday. They were returning home from Porulur after taking part in a ceremony in their family temple, the police said. The deceased were identified as Rajagopal (50), Gurunathan (29), Bangarusamy (49), his wife Vasanthamani (40), Krishnaswamy (52), his wife Rajamani (47), Ranganathan and his wife Saradhamani (40) of Udumalpet. The van was crushed beyond recognition in the impact. The roof was ripped apart and window panes and body frames were damaged. The bus driver fled from the scene. The fire and police personnel struggled for an hour to remove bodies from the van. The bodies were transported in three ambulances to Palani Government Hospital for post mortem. Superintendent of Police A. Pari inspected the accident spot. Local people said that they could not remove the bodies as the front portion of the van was caught below the bus. The deceased and their relatives were travelling in two vehicles.
