Bulandshahr,

18 June (HS): Five members of a family traveling to Delhi from a wedding in

Budaun killed and one was injured in a road accident in Bulandshahr district on

Wednesday morning, police said. The automobile collided with a culvert on the

road, overturned, and caught fire, which the authorities believe was caused by

the driver's drowsiness. Tejveer Singh, the Additional Superintendent of Police

(Rural), said the event occurred about 5.30 a.m. near Janipur village. He

stated the cops were called when a vehicle collided and started fire. Local police and firefighters raced to the

scene and began rescue operations.

One

injured person, Gulnaz (28), was hauled out and brought to the Community Health

Centre (CHC), while five other persons on board the car died, Singh added. An

initial investigation found that all six persons had been to Budaun district

for a wedding and were returning to Malviya Nagar in Delhi. The driver was tired in the morning, and the

automobile spun out of control, collided with a culvert, and flipped. It eventually caught fire, according to the

additional SP. The remains have been sent for autopsy, and further legal

processes are pending, Singh stated.
