In a shocking mishap, a college student lost his life while two others were severely injured after a large tree branch collapsed on them in Koraput district, Odisha, on Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred near Mahuli along the Boipariguda Ranchi-Vijayawada National Highway. Reports suggest the students were en route to their college when a massive tree limb suddenly broke off and fell, trapping them underneath.

Tragically, one student, identified as a resident of Dangarchinchi village in Barangpur, died instantly at the scene due to the impact.

Local residents quickly gathered and sprang into action, managing to pull the injured students from under the heavy branch. Both critically wounded students were rushed to the nearest hospital for urgent medical care.

Authorities, including police personnel and fire service teams, arrived promptly and are overseeing the situation. Further investigation is underway to determine the cause behind the branch collapse.
