An automobile carrying three people tragically veered off the road near the famed Hidimba Temple on Sunday afternoon, sending the three of them plummeting down a 220-foot cliff. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful in the Lahaul-Spiti region. All three of the occupants were instantaneously killed in the horrific tragedy, which happened at around three in the afternoon.
Deadly Descent near Hidimba Temple
On the Keylong-Udaipur road, close to the famous Hidimba
Temple, the unfortunate car was heading from Pangi towards Manali when it lost
control. There is still a fog of doubt surrounding the cause of this catastrophe
because it is unknown why the car suddenly swerved.
Deaths in a Flash
Three people were named as victims of this terrible accident: 60-year-old Chandro Devi, her son Mohit (unknown age), and 45-year-old Rakesh Kumar. Rakesh Kumar, a native of Dharwas in the same district, was going with Chandro Devi and Mohit, who lived in Seri Bhatwas in Kilar, Chamba district. At the scene of the collision, all three of them passed away from their wounds.
Quick Reaction and Inquiry
The Jahalma Police Post crew and SP Mayank Chaudhary arrived at the scene as soon as they heard about the accident. While the police took control of the deceased's remains for post-mortem examination at Keylong Hospital, the scene was captured on camera and through photographs.
Families Lamenting, Society in Disbelief
SP Chaudhary
affirmed that the victims' families have been notified and are receiving
assistance during this trying time. He also revealed that efforts are being
made to find the next of kin for one of the deceased, Rakesh Kumar, who was
reportedly employed by the Merchant Navy. MLA for Lahaul-Spiti Ravi Thakur sent
his sympathies to the relatives of the deceased as well as the whole community.
