BHOPAL: Two persons were killed and three others critically injured on the Indore-Bhopal National Highway near Darbar Dhaba in Sehore district early Thursday morning.
The mishap occurred around 6 a.m. when a car carrying five members of the Nema family rammed into a moving truck on the road near a rehabilitation centre, Sainkrakhed. Dense morning fog drastically reduced visibility, and police believe the driver could not spot the moving vehicle in time. Travelling at high speed, the car lost control and collided head-on with the truck’s rear, completely shattering the front portion of the car.
The two deceased have been identified as Sandhya Nema (56), a resident of Indore, and her nephew Mridang Nema (28) from Bhopal. Both died instantly due to the massive impact.
