Three Pilgrims Die as Tempo Falls into Gorge on Maharashtra Ghat Road
Three pilgrims from Yavatmal died and three others were injured when their tempo plunged about 100 feet into a gorge on Keroli Ghat road in Maharashtra's Nanded district early Friday. The vehicle was descending a sharp bend when an oncoming vehicle allegedly sped on the wrong side, blinding the tempo driver with its headlights. Attempting to avoid a collision, the driver lost control due to the absence of protective barriers, causing the tempo to fall. The deceased were seated in the open cargo area, while the injured in the cabin sustained minor injuries. Rescue involved ropes and a crane.
