GURGAON: Five personnel of the Uttar Pradesh Police were killed on the spot after their SUV crashed into another vehicle on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway near Dhulawat toll plaza in Nuh district on Tuesday morning.
The accident took place around 10.30 am when the victims, all posted in Jalaun district, were travelling in a Scorpio from the Palwal side. Police said the driver attempted to overtake a vehicle ahead at high speed but lost control, leading to a violent collision.
The impact left the SUV mangled beyond recognition, trapping all five occupants inside. Passersby alerted authorities, following which teams from local police and emergency services rushed to the spot and began a rescue operation that lasted for a considerable time due to the extent of damage.
An officer said the deceased were serving personnel of the Uttar Pradesh Police. “We have informed senior officials in Jalaun and are coordinating to establish the identities of all victims and complete legal formalities,” he said.
