Tyre Burst on NH-148 Plunges Car into Ditch, Killing 4 Agra Devotees
A devastating road accident early Friday morning claimed the lives of four devotees on the Dausa-Manoharpur National Highway (NH-148) in Rajasthan after their vehicle suffered a sudden tyre blowout and plunged into a deep roadside ditch. The fatal crash occurred around 6:00 AM near the Raisar police station jurisdiction as a group of pilgrims from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, were returning home after completing a pilgrimage to the revered Khatu Shyam Ji temple in Sikar. The unexpected high-speed tyre burst caused the driver to lose immediate steering control, sending the vehicle hurtling off the tarmac into the gorge, killing four occupants on the spot and leaving two other passengers trapped with critical traumatic injuries before local villagers and highway emergency teams rushed to initiate rescue efforts.
Raisar Police Identify Deceased from Agra: Two Survivors Battling Severe Injuries
Emergency response teams dispatched from the Raisar police station quickly cordoned off the crash site, extricating the victims from the mangled wreckage and rushing the injured to a nearby medical facility for urgent stabilization. Raisar Station House Officer (SHO) Rajpal Singh confirmed that preliminary forensic and mechanical assessments point directly to a sudden tyre rupture at high velocity as the primary cause of the fatal rollover. Police authorities officially identified the four deceased victims as Atul, Rupesh, Mukul, and Shiva, all residing in Agra, whose bodies were transferred to the district mortuary for post-mortem examinations and subsequent handover to bereaved family members. Meanwhile, the two grievously injured passengers, identified as Rahul and Arpit, remain under intensive clinical supervision as medical personnel treat extensive trauma sustained during the violent descent.
NH-148 Gridlock Cleared by Cranes as Secondary Overturn Injures Five in Dausa
The severe morning collision triggered widespread vehicular paralysis across both corridors of the Dausa-Manoharpur National Highway, creating bumper-to-bumper congestion that stretched for kilometers and delayed commuter transit for nearly an hour. Police personnel deployed heavy-duty recovery cranes to hoist the demolished wreckage from the ditch, systematically restoring single-lane movement before fully reopening the interstate highway once the casualties were safely transferred to emergency wards. In a separate traffic mishap reported within Dausa district on the same morning, a commercial loading tempo traveling on the Delhi-Kota transit route lost balance and overturned into a roadside trench, injuring five passengers on board who were subsequently evacuated to local healthcare facilities for precautionary trauma care.
