Guna, Nov 20
Three young men died on the spot and four others suffered life-threatening injuries in a horrific head-on collision between their car and a speeding truck in the Bajranggarh police station area of Madhya Pradesh's Guna district on Thursday.
The accident took place around 4 a.m. near Duhai Mandir turn on Aron Road -- a notorious sharp blind curve long labelled an “accident black spot” by locals and authorities.
Sub-Divisional Officer (police) Priyanka Mishra said seven close friends were travelling in a Maruti Suzuki Swift from Aron towards Guna when their car, while negotiating the dangerous curve, rammed head-on into a heavily loaded truck coming from the opposite direction at high speed.
“The impact was so severe that the entire front portion of the car was completely crushed and mangled beyond recognition, trapping the occupants inside,” the officer stated.
