Patna, Jan 29 (NationPress) Six individuals sustained injuries in a traffic mishap involving a Mahindra Scorpio in Bihar's Rohtas district on Tuesday.
The incident took place on National Highway 19 in the Babhangama region under Darigaon police station when one of the SUV's tyres burst, resulting in the driver losing control. The vehicle rolled over and collided with a nearby hut. Anita Devi, a resident of the hut, was among those hurt during the incident.
The Scorpio was transporting five passengers from Durgapur, West Bengal, who were en route to Prayagraj for the Kumbh Mela. The injured individuals include Sunita Devi, Kaushik Rai, Tonedar Rai, Priyanshu Raj (a 10-year-old child), Anita Devi, and one other person. All the affected were rushed to Sadar Hospital in Sasaram for medical attention.
Officials reported that Tonedar Rai is in critical condition, and plans are underway to transfer him to Varanasi for enhanced medical treatment.
Witnesses claimed that the SUV flipped over following the tyre burst and subsequently crashed into the hut. The force of the collision resulted in injuries to both the passengers and the nearby resident.
"The accident caused significant injuries to six individuals, including a child. The injured are receiving treatment, with one person in critical condition being referred to Varanasi. An investigation is currently underway," stated a police official from Sasaram.
A substantial influx of devotees is arriving at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj to partake in a holy dip during the auspicious occasion of Mauni Amavasya amid the ongoing Mahakumbh Fair. The Sangam, the meeting point of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Saraswati Rivers, is of great religious importance, and Mauni Amavasya is a significant time for a holy dip.
Trains and buses heading to Prayagraj are facing unprecedented crowds as devotees from all over the country journey to partake in the sacred rites.
Overcrowding at railway stations and bus terminals has led to delays, with passengers finding it challenging to secure space. Mauni Amavasya is a spiritually significant day in Hindu customs, believed to cleanse sins and facilitate salvation when one bathes in the holy Sangam on this day.
