Two members of a family lost their lives, and four others sustained injuries after their car veered off a culvert and crashed into a tree while en route to the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. The accident took place early Saturday morning in Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon district, police confirmed.
The tragic incident occurred around 6:45 am near Borgaon village, situated along National Highway-30 under the jurisdiction of the Farasgaon police station, an official stated.
According to preliminary investigations, a family traveling from Bengaluru was heading toward Prayagraj in two separate cars. While negotiating a bend in the road, the driver of one vehicle reportedly lost control, causing the car to skid off the highway. The vehicle fell off a small culvert before crashing into a roadside tree, resulting in a fatal impact.
"Two occupants of the car died on the spot, while four others suffered injuries," the official said.
A passerby witnessed the accident and promptly called for an ambulance while also informing the local police. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, and the injured were immediately transported to a nearby hospital in Farasgaon for treatment.
Authorities are conducting further investigations into the incident, and efforts are underway to provide necessary assistance to the affected family.
