Three Killed in SUV Collision with Trailer Near Mohali Toll PlazaPreviousNext

A newlywed couple from Himachal Pradesh and a family friend died when their SUV collided with the rear of a trailer near the Bajheri toll plaza on the Bharatmala Expressway in Mohali district. The accident occurred as the trailer driver reportedly applied sudden brakes, allegedly to avoid a snake, leaving little time for the SUV driver to react.
