Four members of a family lost their lives, and five others were injured when their car collided with a truck on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan’s Sawai Madhopur district on Sunday.
The family had traveled to Rishikesh in Uttarakhand for a religious event, where a female relative passed away. After the cremation, they were heading back to their home in Vikramgarh-Alot, Madhya Pradesh, when the accident occurred.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Hemendra Kumar reported that the driver of the car likely fell asleep, causing the vehicle to slam into a truck that was traveling ahead near the Bhagwatgarh-Trilokpura Banas river, under the jurisdiction of the Surwal police station.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and transported both the deceased and the injured to a hospital in Sawai Madhopur. The victims were identified as Rajan (22), Monica (24), Rekha (42), and her mother Dhapu Prajapat (60).
