Agra: A tranquil morning at the Taj Mahal turned chaotic when a parked car suddenly rolled backward into a group of tourists near the monument's western gate. Eyewitnesses reported that the vehicle, bearing a Delhi registration, was left unattended without its handbrake engaged.

A child inside the car is believed to have accidentally released the brake, causing it to reverse uncontrollably into a nearby shop area where tourists were gathered. The incident, captured on CCTV, shows the car striking several individuals before coming to a halt. Six tourists sustained injuries and were promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment. Police are currently investigating the matter.

Severe Collision in Thana Bah Area

In a separate incident on the same day, a head-on collision occurred between a high-speed dumper truck and an oil-laden truck near Gurukul School in the Thana Bah area of Agra district. The impact was so severe that the driver and conductor of the dumper became trapped inside the vehicle's cabin.

Emergency services, along with local residents, conducted a rescue operation lasting several hours to extricate the injured individuals. Both were admitted to a nearby hospital in critical condition and later referred to a higher medical center for advanced care. The dumper was reportedly transporting sand from Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, to Fatehabad. The collision led to significant traffic congestion on the route, causing inconvenience to commuters.
