A horrific road accident took place in the Nagaur district early on Thursday morning, resulting in the deaths of three people. Five others were critically injured.

The accident occurred around 7 AM on the Surpaliya bypass in the Surpaliya police station area of Nagaur. Due to the dense fog, an SUV and a truck collided head-on with great force. The collision was so severe that the SUV was completely smashed as it hit the truck.

Efforts Underway to Identify the Deceased

The police have kept the bodies of the three deceased in the government hospital's mortuary. Efforts are currently underway to identify the deceased. According to the police, the cause of the accident is attributed to dense fog and low visibility.

Traffic Disruption After the Accident

Meanwhile, traffic on the Surpaliya bypass was severely affected following the accident. Long queues of vehicles formed on both sides of the road, leading to traffic congestion for approximately two hours. This caused considerable inconvenience to commuters and drivers.
