A family road trip turned tragic when their car collided with a truck on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan, resulting in four deaths and five injuries. The family was returning from a religious programme in Rishikesh after a cremation ceremony. Authorities believe the driver may have dozed off.

In a devastating accident on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, four members of a family lost their lives and five others were injured after their car crashed into a truck in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district on Sunday, according to police reports.

The family had been in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, for a religious program where one woman had died. They were en route to Vikramgarh-Alot in Madhya Pradesh's Ratlam district following her cremation when the unfortunate incident occurred.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Hemendra Kumar stated, ''Prima facie, the car driver appears to have dozed off, causing the vehicle to ram into a truck ahead near Bhagwatgarh-Trilokpura Banas river under Surwal police station.''

The victims have been identified as Rajan (22), his sister Monica (24), Rekha (42), and her mother Dhapu Prajapat (60). The bodies and the injured were transported to a hospital in Sawai Madhopur by ambulance.
