Two individuals were tragically killed in Maharashtra's Palghar district when their motorcycle collided with a highway divider. Chetan Nikolay and Rani Suresh Borsa died instantly as traffic diversions due to a bridge project obscured the poorly visible divider, leading to a fatal crash.

In a tragic incident on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway, two individuals lost their lives after their motorcycle collided with a divider in Maharashtra's Palghar district, the police reported on Monday.

The accident, which took place near Dhanivari village on Sunday morning, claimed the lives of Chetan Nikolay, 28, and Rani Suresh Borsa, 21. The victims were killed on the spot, according to Inspector Avinash Mandle from Kasa police station.
