A tragic road accident claimed four lives when a car collided with a truck in Jharkhand late Wednesday evening, officials confirmed. Among the deceased was the daughter of state Rural Development Minister Deepika Pandey Singh.
The high-impact collision left the vehicle severely damaged, with rescue teams finding little to salvage from the wreckage. Three other occupants of the car also died in the accident, bringing the total death toll to four.
Initial investigations suggest the severity of the impact resulted in the car being completely destroyed. Authorities have launched a detailed inquiry into the circumstances that led to the accident. No immediate statement was available from the minister's office regarding the incident.
The accident underscores ongoing concerns about road safety in the region, with fatal collisions between heavy vehicles and passenger cars remaining a persistent problem on major highways and routes across eastern India.
