Uncontrolled truck crushes seven members of a single family in Jharkhand

Seven members of a single family have lost their lives in a horrific road accident in the Khunti district of Jharkhand. This tragic incident occurred on Thursday night near the Jone-Ludru turn on the Karra-Torpa main road within the jurisdiction of the Karra police station. According to reports, a high-speed and uncontrolled heavy truck coming from the Torpa side crushed a group of people standing by the roadside. Four women and three children were killed in this accident, including an 11-month-old infant. Additionally, a 5-year-old girl has been seriously injured and is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital.

According to a report by Amar Ujala, there was a poignant reason behind this incident. On Thursday night, a scooty became uncontrolled near the Jone-Ludru turn and crashed into the bushes by the side of the road. Hearing the loud sound of the accident, people from the nearby settlement gathered at the spot. People were attempting to pull out the scooty rider trapped in the bushes and provide assistance. While these people were occupied in helping, an uncontrolled truck coming from the Torpa side ran over everyone standing on the road. After running over the people, the truck broke the wall of a culvert and fell into a ditch. Following the incident, the truck driver and cleaner fled from the scene.

In this devastating accident, a total of seven people, including three members of Birsa Nayak's family, residents of Kaushambi Harijan Colony, have died. The deceased include Birsa Nayak's wife Jayanti Devi, his 20-year-old daughter Anjali Kumari, and Anjali's 11-month-old son Saurav Nayak. Additionally, Manhu Devi, 65-year-old Pako Devi, 12-year-old Golu Kumar, and 6-year-old Tuti Kumari also lost their lives. In this tragic incident, Birsa Nayak's 5-year-old daughter Khushbu Kumari has been seriously injured and has been admitted to the Khunti Sadar Hospital for immediate treatment.

Upon receiving information about the incident, Karra police station in-charge Raju Kumar reached the spot immediately along with health workers. With the help of local people, the police transported the injured to Khunti Sadar Hospital via vehicles, where doctors declared seven people dead after examination. An investigation into the incident is being conducted by the police, and a search has been launched for the absconding truck driver and cleaner.

This incident has spread a wave of mourning across the entire region, as seven members of a single family lost their lives together. Since the people who went to help became victims of death themselves, there is intense anger and grief among the locals. The police are currently collecting details of the truck and its registration so that those responsible can be caught quickly.
