Four Bhopal residents, returning home from the recently concluded Kumbh Mela, met a tragic end on the Kanpur-Sagar Highway on Friday in a collision which even left experienced rescue teams shaken. A truck, barrelling down the road at breakneck speed, smashed head-on into their car, dragging the wreckage for over 50 meters. The sheer force of the impact reduced the vehicle to a crumpled heap, leaving rescuers no choice but to deploy heavy machinery like earthmoving equipment to extract the victims. In another road accident, four persons were killed on the Jabalpur-Nagpur National Highway in Seoni, Madhya Pradesh. A speeding truck, carrying vegetables, ploughed into their motorcycle near Ghoghari village, leaving no survivors. The deceased were identified as Ghanshyam Jharia (50), his wife Sushila (45), and their young granddaughters Ambika (13) and Ramdoot (11) The collision was so devastating that it caused the truck to overturn, spilling its cargo and leaving the area in chaos.
