Five men were killed and one critically injured when a black Mahindra Thar, carrying six passengers, crashed into a highway divider near the Jharsa Flyover on the Gurugram-Delhi-Jaipur Highway in the early
hours of Saturday, September 27. Sector-40 Station House Officer (SHO) Lalit confirmed the details of the tragic incident.
The accident occurred at around 4:30 a.m. as the Thar, registered in Uttar Pradesh, attempted to exit National Highway-48 at Exit No. 9 towards Rajiv Chowk. According to police, the vehicle was travelling at high speed when the driver lost control, causing it to slam violently into the divider. The impact was so severe that four passengers died instantly, while two others were rushed to hospital. One of the injured later succumbed to injuries, leaving only one survivor, who remains in critical condition.
Investigation underway
Police and emergency services arrived promptly at the crash site, with the bodies sent for post-mortem examination. Officers are working to establish the identities of the deceased and are examining the circumstances that led to the collision. The mangled wreckage of the Thar bore witness to the force of the impact.
Authorities have once again raised concerns about overspeeding-related accidents in Gurugram and the Delhi-NCR region, where fatal crashes remain a persistent problem.
