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 policeman was killed and another injured when their vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a deep gorge in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir today, police said.
Selection grade constables Mohammad Taj Khan and Gopal Kishan were returning from Jammu to their home in Nowshera when the accident occurred near village Lamberi around 1330 hours, a police spokesman said.
The vehicle plunged into 200 feet deep gorge after skidding off the road, he said.
