A tragic accident occurred in the Tardi area of Darbhanga due to dense fog. Reduced visibility led to a motorcycle colliding with a JCB machine (earthmover), resulting in the immediate death of one youth and leaving another critically injured. The collision caused panic in the area, and locals helped rush the injured man to the hospital.
Head-On Collision On Embankment
The incident took place near Daiya Kharwar on the eastern embankment of the Kamala River, falling under the jurisdiction of the Lakhnaur police station. Two youths from Kaithwar and Kakodha villages in the block were on their way to Balbhadrapur in Jhanjharpur for labor work. During their journey, their motorcycle collided head-on with a JCB.
Victims Identified
In the accident, 35-year-old Amar Kumar Singh, son of Mantu Singh and a resident of Vishnupur Ward 1 in Kakodha Panchayat, died at the scene. Meanwhile, Umesh Paswan, a resident of Kaithwar village, was critically injured and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Family In Deep Shock
Upon receiving news of the incident, chaos and grief engulfed the family. The atmosphere turned somber when Amar's body was brought to the village after the post-mortem. His wife, Chandrakala Devi, is inconsolable, while his elderly father appears too shocked to cry. Amar was a father of six children; the eldest daughter is 15, while the youngest child is only one-and-a-half years old. The younger children are unaware that their father will never return.
Sole Breadwinner
Lost SarvanSahu, the Mukhiya of Kakodha Panchayat, stated that Amar's family is extremely poor and he was the sole breadwinner. He worked as a daily wage laborer at a sawmill. A wave of mourning has spread throughout the village following the tragedy.
