The vehicle then rammed into a motorcycle carrying two students. The impact was so strong that the victims were dragged for nearly 100 metres before the car overturned.
Reports suggest the car involved was a new Honda City with a temporary number plate. It is also believed that the driver was overspeeding at the time of the crash.
