Four individuals lost their lives, and one person sustained injuries in a tragic incident on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan’s Dausa district. The collision occurred when a speeding car crashed into the rear of a truck near pillar number 193 in the Paparda police station area early in the morning. The impact was so intense that the car became wedged under the truck and was dragged for about eight kilometers along the expressway.
The victims, identified as Rahul Gupta (35), Paras Agarwal (35), Prince Gupta (23), and Vikram Singh (30), all hailing from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, were pilgrims returning home after a visit to the Mahakal temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The fifth occupant, Brijmohan Gupta, who was in the back seat, suffered minor injuries and is receiving treatment at the district hospital in Dausa.
The car, with a Haryana registration number, was heading from Lalsot towards Delhi when the collision occurred near Aluda village in the Rahuwas police station area. The front part of the car was severely crushed and stuck beneath the truck due to the impact of the high-speed crash.
Authorities mentioned that the truck driver was initially unaware of the accident, leading to the car being pulled into the jurisdiction of the Paparda police station. After significant efforts by the police and the expressway rescue team, the car was finally separated from the truck. The deceased were moved to the mortuary, and post-mortem procedures are currently ongoing. Traffic flow on the expressway was disrupted temporarily but resumed after the damaged vehicles were cleared from the road. Police have confirmed that investigations into the incident are ongoing.
