Dehradun Innova Accident: In the Dehradun car accident that killed six, Vipin Agarwal, father of Sadegh Agarwal, the sole survivor in the tragic death, said that many rumours are being spread regarding the deadly crash. In an interview to India Today, Vipin Agarwal appealed to the people to refrain from spreading rumours and also to show compassion toward the families of the victims and the survivor.
The comments by the father of Sadegh come after the allegations that the group had been partying, drinking, and racing their car before it rear-ended the truck. He also recounted the moment he last spoke to his son before the tragedy, when Sadegh said that he would be coming home. However, he received a call from the police on Tuesday, half an hour approximately after the accident occurred.
"We have lost six children. The families of these six children are in such deep distress that we cannot overcome it. One child is in the ICU now, and he is on a ventilator," the father said as he pleaded for empathy.
Dehradun Accident: How The Accident Happened
The accident reportedly happened in a race to overtake a BMW car on the Ballupur Chowk-Garhi Cantt road. The car of seven youngsters travelling in an Innova car ran at a reckless speed into a container passing through ONGC Chowk and, after sliding for about 70 feet in the opposite direction, collided with a tree.
The car was completely destroyed in the accident, which included three male and female students who died on the spot, while one youth was seriously injured. The seven youths had gone on a long drive after a party late at night, and during this time they got in a race with another BMW car driver.
In the accident, the heads of a young man and a young woman were severed from their bodies due to the breaking of the roof of the car, while the bodies of the remaining four were also found in a mutilated condition.
Kunal Kukreja, Kamakshi Singhal, and Guneet Kaur, who lost their lives in the accident, were students of Graphic Era University in Dehradun. Kunal and Guneet were BBA students, while Kamakshi was a B.Com. student. The relatives of the deceased are businessmen, traders, and advocates, and all of them know each other.
