Road accident snuffs out lives of six in Odisha
The poor visibility due to dense fog might be one of the causes of the road mishap. Besides, the driver of the van might have possibly dozed off leading to the mishap.
Ten members of a family were killed on Sunday when the SUV they were travelling in was crushed between two trucks near Bhachau in Gujarat’s Kutch district, police said.
The incident occurred on the Bhachau highway in the evening, when a trailer truck carrying salt jumped over the divider and onto another lane, where it collided with the SUV in which 11 people were travelling, the police said.
At the same time, another truck rammed the SUV from behind, resulting in the death of 10 passengers, a police official said.
