A ghastly road accident took place late at night on the Kishangarh-Pathankot Road, Jalandhar, killing two friends and leaving two others in critical condition. The accident took place around 1:35 AM when their Swift Dzire vehicle was struck by an unknown vehicle.
The four friends were on their way from Amritsar to Hoshiarpur when their vehicle collided in a fatal accident near Kishangarh Chowk on the Jalandhar-Jammu National Highway. The force of the impact was so great that the vehicle lost control and skidded off the road.
Locals immediately alerted the police control room around 1:50 AM. Shortly thereafter, road safety forces and police reached the site, rescued the victims, and shifted them to the hospital. Two of them died on the spot, and the remaining two are under treatment in a critical condition.
The bodies of the deceased have been referred to Jalandhar Civil Hospital for post-mortem. In the meantime, Jalandhar Rural Police have opened a case and initiated an inquiry to track the vehicle involved in the accident.
The unfortunate accident has put the families of the victims into shock, while the police are looking into CCTV camera footage and witness statements to make out more details.
