Five Dead, Five Injured in Separate Car Accidents Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh

Two separate tragic car accidents occurred in India recently, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. In Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district, a car carrying pilgrims to Bhuteshwarnath Temple veered off a bridge after a tyre burst and fell 25 feet into the Sargi rivulet, killing two passengers and injuring three others who were hospitalized. Meanwhile, in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi district, a car plunged into a deep gorge near Saini Nullah on the Janjheli-Chhatri road, killing three occupants and seriously injuring two others. Poor road conditions caused by heavy rain and the collapse of a retaining wall are suspected to have contributed to the Himachal Pradesh accident. Local police and emergency services responded swiftly in both incidents, with the injured receiving medical care and investigations ongoing. These tragedies highlight the dangers posed by road conditions and vehicle failures in the region.
