The tragic incident on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan claimed the lives of six members of the same family after their car collided with a truck that was taking a wrong U-turn. The accident occurred near the Banas river bridge in Sawai Madhopur district, resulting in the deaths of Manish Sharma, Anita Sharma, Satish Sharma, Poonam, Santosh, and Kailash.
CCTV footage captured the negligence on the part of the truck driver, who made a sudden U-turn, causing the car, traveling at high speed behind it, to collide. The truck driver fled the scene before the police arrived, leaving behind the tragic aftermath.
In addition to the fatalities, two children from the same family sustained injuries in the accident and were referred to Jaipur for treatment. Efforts are underway to apprehend the absconding truck driver, identified through the CCTV footage.
