Dashcam Footage Captures Crash

An onboard camera recorded the moments leading up to the accident in a 22-second clip that has since gone viral on social media. The video shows the vehicle travelling along the narrow mountain road before suddenly veering out of control, hitting a roadside pole, and plunging into the gorge. Authorities have not yet determined why the driver lost control.

Rescuers Pull Two Survivors

Upon receiving information about the incident involving the vehicle bearing registration UP37P6641, personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and local police rushed to the scene. The steep mountainous terrain and depth of the fall made reaching the vehicle difficult.

However, after considerable effort, rescue teams pulled two survivors from the wreckage and recovered Chaudhary's body, which was handed over to the police.
