Khargone, Nov 6
Two persons died and at least three others were injured following a head-on collision between a mini truck and a pickup vehicle on Thursday near Balsamud in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone district.
The accident occurred around 6.30 a.m. in the Kasarawad police station jurisdiction on the bustling Khargone-Indore highway, a route notorious for heavy traffic and high-speed vehicular movement.
Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes with mangled metal and scattered produce blocking the road for hours.
Community leaders expressed grief, urging the state government to prioritise highway upgrades amid growing vehicular density. The Khargone-Indore road, a vital link for trade and transport, has witnessed multiple accidents in recent months, raising concerns about road safety infrastructure.
