Six Dead in Truck-Car Collision on Samruddhi Expressway

A big truck carrying a flammable liquid called ethanol crashed into a car on a busy road called the Samruddhi Expressway in Maharashtra, India.

The crash happened early in the morning near a place called Virul village.

Both the truck and the car caught fire, and six people died, including the driver of the truck and four people in the car.

The road was very busy, so the accident caused a lot of traffic problems.

The police and fire department had to work carefully to clean up the mess and make the road safe again.

They even had to divert traffic to other roads to avoid more accidents.

This road has seen more accidents this year compared to last year, and officials are working on making it safer with better traffic management systems.
