A minivan, which was coming behind the second lorry, collided with it.
In the accident, Narayanan, lorry drivers R. Arul Jothi, 54, and S. Manikandan, 40, of Dindigul district sustained grievous injuries and died on the spot. R. Rajesh, 31, K. Khadeer Basha, 56, and Vijay, 38, of Andhra Pradesh, and V. Badhami, 40, of Maharashtra were injured. They were rushed to the Krishnagiri Government Medical College Hospital.
While Badhami died on the way, the other three have been admitted to the hospital and are undergoing treatment. The two passengers of the minivan escaped unhurt. Due to the accident, traffic on the stretch was affected for more than an hour. The Bargur police helped clear the snarl.
The Bargur police registered a case and are investigating.
