Two of the injured were identified as Alok Pradhan and Ganesh Pradhan of Sapang village under Jarada police limits, while the identity of third injured was yet to be ascertained. The trio was rescued from the spot and admitted to the MKCG Medical College and Hospital. The mishap took place reportedly due to dense fog prevailing in the area.
