“The trolley driver, who reportedly attempted to get down a slope to unload the construction material, lost control of the vehicle, which went out of control and down the slope. It overturned at the end of the slope, crushing under it the two workers, identified as Upender and Manohar, who were in a pit being laid for pillars at the site,” police said, adding that a case was booked and the bodies were shifted for postmortem examination. In the second csae, two persons, identified as Jangaiah and Mohammed, both construction workers, were killed in a mishap after a rashly driven truck hit them at Abdullapurmet on the city outskirts on Tuesday morning.
