Police Report Fatal Incident on National Highway-9
Agra (UP), Jun 18 (PTI) - Four people lost their lives on Wednesday morning in a tragic accident when a mango-laden vehicle fell off a flyover on National Highway-9 in Agra, according to police reports. Assistant Commissioner of Police Hemant Kumar stated that the accident occurred around 5 am in the Trans Yamuna police station area.
According to Kumar, "The loader vehicle carrying mangoes from Firozabad lost control while ascending a flyover. The vehicle veered off the edge and fell from a height. Below the flyover, three men -- Rajesh (65), Rameshwar (60), and Haribabu (63) -- were sitting after their morning walk when the vehicle fell on them, resulting in their immediate demise." The 22-year-old driver, Krishna, also tragically lost his life in the accident.
Kumar added, "The preliminary investigation suggests the driver may have dozed off at the wheel, leading to the accident." The loader's helper sustained injuries and has been hospitalized for treatment. Postmortem examinations are underway for all four deceased individuals.
