The mishap occurred around Wednesday midnight when the speeding multi-utility vehicle rammed into the rear side of a truck carrying timber near Muddinakoppa, in this district, on the state highway, Shivamogga district Additional Superintendent of Police M. Muthuraj told.

 

The victims, aged between 25-45 years, were travelling from Bengaluru to Sagara town in Malnad region to attend their friend's wedding on Thursday.

 

The accident spot is about 100km from Shivamogga and 405km from Bengaluru.

Police had a tough time extricating the victims' bodies from the mangled vehicle, which got stuck to the truck's rear side on impact.

 

The accident also led to blocked vehicular traffic on the busy highway for over three hours post-midnight.
