Summary
- A speeding truck crossed the divider, causing a fatal collision.

- Traffic was significantly disrupted for nearly two hours following the incident.
A horrific accident occurred late Thursday night on the Agra-Mumbai National Highway near Bheru Ghat, under the Manpur police station jurisdiction. A truck traveling from Manpur towards Dhamnod reportedly lost control, jumped the divider, and collided with two cars and another truck.
Three people were killed instantly in the catastrophic crash. The deceased have been identified as Shailendra, 20, from Kasrawad in Khargone district, and Rajasthan residents Mahadev Ruparam Meghwal, 22, and Umedaram, 23.
Police and rescue teams worked through the night to extricate individuals trapped in the wreckage and recover the bodies. The collision led to a substantial traffic jam, with queues extending approximately 9 km in both directions.
Traffic was rerouted via the Gujri route. By Friday, damaged vehicles were removed by a crane, and one lane was reopened to allow slow-moving traffic, signaling a gradual return to normalcy.
