Bengaluru, Oct 6:  Four college students lost their lives when their speeding car was crushed under a truck on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway in the early hours of Friday.

The incident occurred near Kempanahalli/Sangabasavana Doddi village, Ramnagaram district, on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

The car was coming towards Bengaluru from Mysuru, when it hit the median, crossed the lane and rammed into a Haryana registered truck.

The victims have been identified as Joel Jacob, Divya, Nikhit Job and Jeena Elda. The deceased are said to be medical students — two from Rajarajeshwari Medical College, Bengaluru and other two from VIT college, Vellore, Tamil Nadu and all of them hailing from Kerala.

"It must have all happened within seconds. The truck, which was coming from the other direction collided with the car which was stuck near the divider and all four died on the spot. It remains to be determined if the youth were under the influence of alcohol," Ramangara SP Ramesh Banoth said.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Thammaiaha said that Jacob’s parents live abroad and that his relatives who reside in Bengaluru have been informed. Through Jacob's family, the police have also reached out to the families of the other deceased students. Their bodies are currently at the Rajarajeshwari Medical College in Bengaluru, the officer said.

A case of accidental death has been registered at the Ramanagara Police Station and investigations are on.
