Two persons were charred to death when a car in which they were travelling rammed into a stationary truck in Telangana’s Nizamabad district on Monday, police said.

The incident occurred at around 1.30am near Velpur crossroads. The car caught fire after the collision.

Passers-by alerted police. A fire engine was rushed to the spot and the blaze was put out but by then, the car was completely gutted and both the occupants were caught in flames and burnt alive.

A police official said the car (Maruti Alto) was on its way from Korutla to Armoor. The person at the wheel failed to notice the stationary truck and rammed into it.
