In a tragic incident early Monday, three individuals lost their lives and a seven-year-old girl was injured when their car collided with a gravel-laden truck on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Dadri, Greater Noida. The deceased were identified as Vivek (32), his wife Mamta (30), and their friend Hariram (35), all residents of Rewari, Rajasthan. They were traveling to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, to attend a marriage and visit the Kashi Vishwanath temple. The accident occurred around 2:30 am when the truck driver suddenly applied brakes, causing the car, a Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, to crash into the rear of the truck. The impact trapped the occupants inside the vehicle. The truck driver fled the scene, but the injured girl managed to signal for help, leading to the arrival of police. After hours of effort, the police retrieved the bodies and rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, where she is now stable. A case has been filed against the unidentified truck driver for rash driving and causing death by negligence.
