Before Uttarakhand crash that killed 6 young men and women, house party, late-night ride in a new car

On the way, they picked up Kamakshi (20) and Guneet (19). Also in the car were Rishabh Jain (24), Navya Goyal (23), and Kunal Kukreja (23).

It was during this drive that the crash took place. According to police, the car attempted to pass a container truck near Kishan Nagar Chowk, but the driver misjudged the truck’s speed, believing he could pass safely after it had moved ahead. However, the car collided with it at high speed.

Siddhesh sustained serious injuries and is being treated at Synergy Hospital, with officials saying he is critical. His six friends in the car with him all died.

Initial inquiries revealed that the container truck was traveling from Kishan Nagar Chowk, while the SUV was heading toward Dehradun from Ballupur Chowk.

According to a statement issued by Dehradun police, Siddhesh’s father Vipin Kumar Agarwal has lodged a complaint at Kotwali Cantonment regarding the accident.

On the basis of the complaint, a case was registered under section 106 (2) of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, which deals with the punishment for causing death by rash and negligent driving and fleeing the scene without reporting the incident.

SSP Ajai Singh told The Indian Express that Agarwal did not name anyone in the FIR, but got the case registered so the circumstances under which the accident took place can be investigated.

On Tuesday, the Innova, allegedly being driven at a high speed, had collided with a container truck around 1.30 am.

Earlier, Vipin Agarwal said he had spoken to his son at around 9 pm on the night before the incident.

He said that he had left Dehradun to attend a wedding, and late at night, he got a call that Siddhesh had met with an accident. He then rushed to the hospital. Siddhesh has serious injuries on his face, shoulder and lungs.
