Tragic Road Incident: Family's SUV Crash in Madhya Pradesh

A family traveling from Uttar Pradesh to Gujarat faced a tragic accident as their SUV hit a road divider in Madhya Pradesh, resulting in four deaths, including an 11-year-old boy, and two injuries. The driver admitted to losing control due to fatigue from prolonged driving.

A devastating crash in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district claimed the lives of four individuals, including an 11-year-old boy, and injured two others when their SUV collided with a road divider early Thursday morning, authorities reported.

According to Inspector Ramesh Jat, the family was en route from Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, to Surat, Gujarat, when the incident occurred at approximately 7 am. The driver, Bholenath Dubey, confessed that fatigue after nearly 18 hours behind the wheel led him to fall asleep, causing him to lose vehicle control.

Despite sustaining minor injuries, Dubey survived due to a seat belt and airbag deployment. However, Anmol Dubey (16) and Priyanshu Pandey (11) died instantly, while Pramila Pandey (55) and Shiv Devi Tiwari (45) later succumbed to their injuries. Two others remain hospitalized, with ongoing investigations.
