Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): Two people, including a father-in-law and his daughter-in-law, died in a tragic road accident in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district, as reported on Tuesday.
According to information, the accident occurred on Monday evening after their speeding car overturned near a blind turn on Ranital Road under Bajna police station limits. 3 others were seriously injured in the crash.
Regarding the matter, the police said, the car was travelling from Ranital to Panagar when the driver lost control near the sharp turn, causing the vehicle to overturn on the roadside. The impact badly damaged the car.
The deceased were identified as 55-year-old Munnilal Ahirwar and his 23-year-old daughter-in-law Priyanka Ahirwar. The family was reportedly going to drop Priyanka at her maternal home in Panagar.
