Six people were killed and another seriously injured in the serious car accident in Dehradun on Tuesday morning. The accident took place around 1.30 am at ONGC Chowk where a speeding Innova car crashed into the back of a container truck, leaving the car in a wrecked condition, police said.

According to Circle Officer (city) Neeraj Semwal, the six deceased – three men and three women, all under the age of 25, died on the spot. A seventh passenger, identified as 25-year-old Siddhesh Agrawal, survived but is in critical condition at Synergy Hospital.

“Since the young car owner, who was driving the vehicle, lost his life in the incident, he cannot be held responsible under existing law. Police are consulting with legal experts to explore possible action in this case,” Bhatt said.

Siddhwesh Agrawal is still in hospital but is stable. Due to serious head injuries, he is unable to make a statement about the incident and it may be some time before he can speak to investigators.
