The SUV, with the registration number MP 13 ZA1508, initially struck the road divider before veering out of control and crashing into the container truck traveling in the opposite direction.

They have been identified as residents from various areas, including Ingoria and Narwal in Ujjain, and Badanwar in Madhya Pradesh. The force of the collision was so severe that one side of the SUV was entirely crushed.”

The police officer further mentioned that the group had set out from Ingoria village in Ujjain district and was en route to Rajasthan to visit the famous ‘Sanwalia Seth’ (Lord Krishna) temple. The accident occurred in proximity to the village of Bangred Mamadev. The driver, Rajesh, aged 30, reportedly lost control of the vehicle while attempting to navigate a sharp turn, which is believed to have contributed to the accident. Rajesh died instantly.
