Three Youths From Telangana Killed In Road Accident After Visiting Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple

Ujjain: Three youths from Telangana were killed and four others injured when their vehicle collided with a trailer due to dense fog in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district on Tuesday morning, police said.

According to police, the accident occurred near Chandesara village in the Nagjhir police station area of ​​Ujjain when a tempo traveller carrying a group of friends from Telangana was on its way to Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya after visiting the Mahakaleshwar Temple.

The impact of the collision was so severe that the vehicle was badly damaged. All the injured were admitted to the hospital, where three succumbed to their injuries during treatment.

ASP Guru Prasad Parashar said, "Three of the youths, who were on a religious trip, died in a road accident. They were in a tempo traveller, which rammed into a trailer loaded with pipes. Bodies have been shifted for post-mortem and their relatives informed. An FIR has been registered against the trailer driver based on the complaint of the injured and search is on for him."
