Timeline of the Tragic Incident
According to eyewitness accounts and police reports, the accident occurred around 1:15 AM on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. The victims' car was traveling from Hanumangarh Road and descending the bridge toward Roti Chowk when the driver allegedly lost control at high speed.
An eyewitness described the scene: "The car was speeding while descending the bridge. The driver lost control, and the vehicle collided with the intersection with tremendous force. The impact was so severe that the front portion of the car was completely crushed, and the intersection itself was damaged."
The witness further reported that two young men died instantly at the scene, while three others remained trapped inside the wreckage, groaning in pain. Passersby extracted the victims from the vehicle and transported them to Abohar Civil Hospital.
Family Notification and Medical Response

The two injured survivors, Roshan and Anmol, received initial first aid at the civil hospital before being referred to Faridkot Medical College for advanced treatment, where they remain under medical care.
Authorities were able to notify families using contact information found on the victims' mobile phones. Abohar City-1 Station House Officer Ravinder Singh confirmed that the bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination and will be handed over to families following the procedure.
Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, particularly in Baluana village where all victims resided. The young men were known to be involved in the agricultural sector, specifically kinnow harvesting, which is a significant economic activity in the region.
