13 Dead, 12 Injured in Tragic Road Accident in Chhattisgarh
The Statesman Kolkata
|May 13, 2025
At least 13 people, including women and children, were killed and 12 others sustained serious injuries when a speeding trailer collided with an overloaded pickup truck, carrying passengers, on the Raipur-Balodabazar highway near Saragaon, Chhattisgarh.
The victims were returning from a traditional Chhathi ceremony - a postnatal ritual celebrated on the sixth day after childbirth - when the horrific accident took place late Sunday night.
According to police reports, the victims hailed from Chataud village and had attended the ceremony at the home of Punit Sahu in Bana-Banarsi. They were travelling in a pickup truck, packed with over 50 passengers, far beyond its safe capacity.
Eyewitnesses said a speeding trailer hit the vehicle from behind, causing it to spin out of control and crash into another trailer.
The collision was deadly. Among the deceased were ten women, two young girls, and a six-month-old infant.
Several of the injured are in critical condition and were rushed to the Khardora Community Health Centre and Raipur Medical College for emergency care.
