Like any other busy evening, people were buying vegetables from Jitendra Saroj's shop on the footpath at the main square of Bardah Bazaar. Meanwhile, a car coming at high speed from Jaunpur's side hit a scooter and a bike parked on the side of the road. The four-wheeler then lost control, hit the divider, overturned and ran into the buyers at the vegetable shop. As a result, Saroj, Manish and Gautam, who were selling vegetables at their younger brother’s shop on the footpath died.
The injured have been identified as Arvind, Priyanshu, and Diwakar. After receiving first aid at the Community Health Centre (CHC) Bardah, they were sent to Jaunpur. Priyanshu's condition remains critical.
