Bihar : Six people were killed in a horrible traffic accident in Bhagalpur. A youngster is also among the deceased. Many individuals were injured in this incident and have been taken to Mayaganj Hospital in Bhagalpur.
Six wedding guests in a Scorpio were killed on the spot in Bhagalpur when the highway overturned on the bridal procession vehicle. Three people were critically injured in this incident and were transported to Mayaganj Hospital in Bhagalpur with the help of locals. The event occurred at Amapur of Ghogha, which is located on Kahalgaon’s main road NH 80. The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. A youngster is also among the deceased. The victims have been named as Sanchit Kumar (28), Abhishek Kumar (18), Parimal Das (21), Chhotu Mandal (Scorpio driver), Amit Das (30), and Pankaj Kumar. In this occurrence, two people, including Kailash Das (60), were injured and are being treated at Mayaganj Hospital.
Road construction was underway.
According to locals, the wedding procession in three Scorpios was traveling from Goriya Tola of Dhapadi Mod Gobadda Panchayat of Kharagpur police station area of Munger to Shrimatpur village of Pirpainti. The Scorpio carried 11 people, including the driver. The train was approaching from the opposite direction (from Kahalgaon) near Amapur of the Ghogha police station area, along a ballast-laden highway. At the time of the occurrence, road construction was in progress. As a result, one side of the road was three or four feet taller than the other. During this time, while crossing the highway, it lost control and overturned onto the wedding vehicle. At the moment, two additional Scorpios were following that one. As soon as the collision occurred, both Scorpios managed to escape by moving back and forth; otherwise, the death toll could have risen further. When the commotion was heard, people gathered nearby, and miraculously everyone was rescued from the wreckage and transported to the hospital.
