Six men sustained injuries after their Swift car turned turtle after it accidentally collided with a stationary tanker at the Vikas Marg on Wednesday night. According to the police, all the injured were rushed to different hospitals where their condition is stated to be critical but out of danger.

A police official said: “All the six men, in the age group of 25 to 35 years, live in Shakarpur and Indirapuram areas. 

They were heading back to Shakarpur through the Vikas Marg Road when their vehicle accidentally hit a stationary tanker parked on the roadside. After hitting the tanker, their vehicle turned upside down. A passer-by made a PCR call after which a team from Shakarpur police station reached the spot.”
