The victims were on way to Kanker town after having dinner at an eatery when their two-wheeler collided head-on with the car coming from the opposite direction around 1 am near the Counter Terrorism and Jungle Warfare College on National Highway No.30, a police official said.
The car driver fled after the accident leaving behind the vehicle, he said.
Three of the victims - Tarendra Yadav (18), Akash Yadav (17) and Rajkamal Yadav (18) - died on the spot, while another person, identified as Sanjay Yadav (21), succumbed to his injuries early this morning during treatment at a local hospital, the police official said.
