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.
A 28 year-old youth of Hooghly district died at R G Kar Medical College Hospital on Friday.
No complaint has been lodged with the hospital authorities so far by the deceased’s family.
