Dehradun: In a tragic accident near the ONGC crossing early Tuesday morning, six people lost their lives when an Innova collided with a cargo truck.

The impact of the collision was so severe that the car was sent airborne for several meters, crushing the passengers instantly. One survivor was critically injured and rushed to a city hospital for treatment.

The group was reportedly traveling toward Bullarpur near the cantonment area at the time of the accident. Meanwhile, the driver of the cargo truck has been detained by Dehradun police for further investigation.

This incident closely echoes a tragic accident from May on the Dehradun-Mussoorie road, where six students lost their lives in a similar crash.

SDC Foundation has sought immediate intervention from the CM Uttarakhand to make travel safe by taking some proactive measures.

Almora tragedy that killed 38 people recently in a bus accident only calls for immediate action, he urged by bringing all stakeholders on board.
