Bihar witnessed yet another deadly highway collision Thursday, with four fatalities in Madhubani when a Scorpio SUV from Haryana plowed into a truck on NH-27 near Khopa Chowk. Fulparas police swiftly responded to the Fulparas station limits.
Investigators believe the SUV, heading from Darbhanga, lost control, crossed into the wrong lane, and met the truck headlong. The Scorpio suffered catastrophic damage, ejecting victims in a scene of utter destruction.
Casualties include Kurukshetra residents Sanjeev Kumar, Kapil Kumar, and Vikas Kumar on a Bihar sightseeing tour. The unidentified fourth is under verification, with owner contact attempted via plates.
Immediate death claimed one; the trio perished while being rushed to Jhanjharpur sub-divisional facility. Truck driver’s condition is stable, per medical updates.
Traffic paralysis on NH-27 was resolved promptly with detours, SHO Vikram Acharya informed. Ongoing inquiries target driver fault, possible speeding, or infrastructure gaps.
Post-mortems at Madhubani Sadar Hospital will provide further clues. Amid Bihar’s toll of rash driving, this crash demands renewed vigilance, awareness drives, and penalties to safeguard lives on congested national routes.
