As per available information, a Maruti Suzuki Alto car with students in it collided head-on with a truck coming from the opposite side. In the Katigorah area, the collision took place.

An eyewitness said, “Four students died on the spot, two dead bodies were lying on the road.  After the collision, the Alto car fell into a ditch 50 metres away from the spot of impact. Both the vehicles were at full speed and that is why the accident turned out to be a fatal one.”
