Udaipur: A tragic road accident on Saturday claimed the lives of four teenagers and left six others injured after two cars rammed into each other on the old Ahmedabad highway in Udaipur, police officials said.
The collision took place near the Nela Talab area under the Savina police station limits. All four victims who lost their lives were residents of Udaipur. They have been identified as Mohammad Ayan (17), Adil Qureshi (14), Sher Mohammad (19) and Ghulam Khwaja (17), according to police.
Savina SHO Ajayraj Singh said that six friends were travelling together in one vehicle after attending a ‘Mehfil-e-Milad’ event. While they were on their way towards the highway to stop for tea, their car was struck by another vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.
The second car, which bore a Gujarat registration number, was reportedly en route from Rajgarh in Rajasthan’s Churu district to Vapi in Gujarat. Four people travelling in that vehicle sustained injuries in the crash and are currently receiving medical treatment.
In the car carrying the Udaipur youths, two occupants survived but suffered serious injuries and have been admitted to hospital, police said. The impact of the collision was severe, leading to the immediate death of four teenagers at the spot.
Police have shifted the bodies to the mortuary at MB Hospital for post-mortem examinations. Both vehicles involved in the accident have been taken into custody as part of the investigation. Further inquiry is underway to determine the exact cause of the crash.
