Shivpuri: Four people died and 11 others were injured in a tragic road accident in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh on Saturday morning. All were members of a Gujarat-based music group returning from Varanasi after performing at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The accident occurred on National Highway-27, under the jurisdiction of Survaya police station, when their Traveller van collided head-on with a loaded truck coming from the opposite direction. Speaking to IANS, Arvind Chari, Survaya police station incharge said, "All the victims hailed from Mehsana and Surendranagar districts of Gujarat." The officer added that one person died on the spot while three others succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. As many as 11 others were injured, including one of the drivers, whose condition is stated to be critical.

The driver lost control of the vehicle, which hit the central divider and veered into the opposite lane before crashing into an oncoming truck with tremendous force. The impact was so severe that several passengers were thrown from their seats, the officer said. A total of 17 people were travelling in the van at the time of the accident. The deceased have been identified as Hardik Dave (40), the lead singer of the group; Raja Thakur (28); Ankit Thakur (22); and Rajpal Solanki (60).
