8 Of A Family Burn To Death After Getting Trapped In Car That Collided With Truck In UP

Mumbai: Eight members of a family, including a child, burned to death after their car collided with a truck on Nainital Highway in UP on Saturday, officials said. The car was dragged and caught fire and all the victims were trapped inside the vehicle that was centrally locked, police said.

The incident happened in the Bareilly district of Bhojipura, Uttar Pradesh. Seven people and one child were involved in the deceased, according to the police. The family was from the village of Bahedi in Uttarakhand.

Following the crash, the automobile they were traveling in caught fire, killing every passenger instantly. The SUV’s tire puncture caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

“The accident occurred on the highway near Bhojipura. A car collided with a truck. The car got dragged and then caught fire. The car was centrally locked, hence the people inside the car lost their lives due to the fire,” Bareilly SSP Ghule Sushil Chandrabhan was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

He reported that the bodies had been removed and were being sent for a post-mortem examination. In this case, more action is being taken.

Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, offered his sincere sympathies for the deaths in the traffic tragedy in Bareilly and wished the departed souls peace.
