Six young men and women, who were enjoying a celebratory party, could not have imagined that their lives would be cut short in the next moment. The horrific accident left witnesses shaken. After a party in the Jakhan area, the group set out for a drive in a newly purchased Innova.
In a tragic twist of fate at the ONGC Chowk, six families were plunged into mourning as the accident claimed the lives of their loved ones. The scene at ONGC Chowk was nothing short of horrifying, with bodies scattered and the severely damaged car bearing witness to the fatal crash. Shocked bystanders struggled to comprehend the tragic sight before them.
Police officers, with the help of passersby, cleared the bodies from the road late at night, while crowds continued to gather to view the wreckage until the morning. The vehicle was later towed to Cantt Police Station, where the scene remained gruesome. Items like sandals and a purse were scattered inside the blood-stained, completely wrecked car, each detail telling the story of the terrible crash.
The young lives were lost in a late-night race on the city streets, as the Innova, carrying seven youths, attempted to overtake a BMW on the Ballupur Chowk-Garhi Cantt route. The speeding Innova slammed into a container at ONGC Chowk, skidded nearly 70 feet in the opposite direction, and collided with a tree. This high-speed chase cost six young lives, a grim reminder of the perils of reckless driving.
