In a heartbreaking incident, a devastating SUV crash claimed the lives of seven family members while leaving five others injured in Bihar’s Rohtas district. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday when the SUV collided with a trailer truck parked on the roadside in the Shivsagar area of Sasaram town.
According to reports, the family, comprising 11 individuals including the driver, was returning from a visit to the Rajrappa temple in neighboring Jharkhand. Tragically, their journey took a tragic turn when the SUV, allegedly traveling at high speed, lost control and crashed into the trailer truck. The impact of the collision resulted in a catastrophic loss for the family.
Among the deceased were Rajmati Devi, aged 55, her daughter Soni Kumari, aged 35, and her son-in-law Arvind Sharma, aged 40.

The injured victims were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Their condition remains under observation. It has been revealed that the ill-fated family hailed from Kaimur district.
Authorities have swiftly taken action, with the bodies of the deceased being sent for post-mortem examinations. The police have also taken possession of both vehicles involved in the accident. Rakesh Gosai, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Shivsagar, provided these details.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of speeding on the road. The suspected high speed at which the SUV was traveling likely resulted in the driver losing control, leading to the catastrophic collision.
