NASHIK: Four people were killed in a major accident that occurred near Chandwad town at taluka headquarters in Nashik district, 70km from Nashik, on Monday.
BJP corporator from Dhule Municipal Corporation Kiran Ahirrao was among the deceased.
The assistant police officer from Vadnerbhairav, Mayur Bhamre, said that the car was heading from Nashik towards Malegaon when it rammed into a moving container from behind, killing all four persons in the car on the spot.
“The bodies were sent to Chandwad Primary Health Centre for postmortem,” the police added.
The police said that the car appeared to be traveling at a high speed when the accident occurred, as the car’s body was completely damaged. After the incident, the car drifted towards the divider but did not cross over to the opposite lane.
The accident led to the stalling of traffic for over an hour as locals rushed to help the victims.
The police had to deploy a crane to separate the car from the container and then move it off the road to clear the traffic.
