Three people were killed and four others sustained injuries after a car rammed into a truck in Assam while the occupants were returning from a Durga Puja pandal, according to reporting by NDTV — Top Stories.
The fatal collision occurred during the festive period as devotees traveled back from visiting the ceremonial structure. Two occupants of the car died on the spot due to the impact of the crash, while emergency responders rushed four injured passengers to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. One of the victims later succumbed, bringing the total death toll to three.
Fatal Collision En Route From Festivities
The victims were among many travelers moving across the state during the annual Durga Puja celebrations. The car, which was carrying multiple passengers returning from a pandal visit, struck the truck under circumstances that led to immediate fatalities inside the vehicle.
Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after the crash to extract the victims from the damaged vehicle. While two individuals were pronounced dead at the site, the surviving occupants were stabilized and transported to local medical facilities for urgent care.
Emergency Response and Hospitalization
Local authorities and hospital personnel coordinated the emergency response following the incident. Medical teams treated the four injured passengers admitted after the crash, though one individual subsequently died from injuries sustained in the collision.
Road transit during major festival periods in the region often experiences heavy volumes of passenger traffic as families and groups travel between various community pandals late into the evening and early morning hours.
