A youth from Santo Estevam died while another youth from Aldona was seriously injured late Monday night, when their two-wheeler rammed into a stationary truck near the Industrial Estate in Chikhali-Colvale.
The accident took place at about 11.30 pm on Monday, when the rider, Ravish Tari (20) of Santo Estevam, along with Laxman Bhosale (18) of Aldona had gone to visit a relative in Mitra-Camurlim.
