National News: The early hours of the morning turned horrific near Jahangirabad in Bulandshahr district when a speeding car returning from a wedding burst into flames after crashing. The vehicle, carrying six members of the same family, was engulfed in fire within seconds. Passersby tried to help, but the intensity of the flames made rescue nearly impossible. By the time police and fire officials arrived, five people had already lost their lives, burnt alive inside the car.
A Celebration Ends in Flames
The victims had reportedly attended a wedding ceremony in Sahaswan and were returning to Delhi when the crash occurred. According to initial police findings, the vehicle lost control and collided before catching fire. One young woman, critically injured, was rescued by emergency responders and is currently undergoing treatment. Her condition remains serious but stable, said doctors at the local hospital.
Family Wiped Out in Seconds
The accident site, located near Janipur Chandausa village, was littered with debris and a completely charred vehicle. Forensic teams have begun collecting evidence to determine whether the fire was caused by mechanical failure or the impact of the collision. The identities of the deceased have not been released officially, but sources confirm they belonged to a single extended family.
Heroic Rescue Saves One Life
Eyewitnesses recall the harrowing scene where flames leapt from the vehicle and cries for help faded into silence. The lone survivor—a young woman—was pulled out with burns and injuries by a joint team of local villagers and firefighters. The swift action saved her life, but her physical and emotional scars may last forever.
Police Probe Mechanical Fault Angle
Senior police officials confirmed that all five bodies have been sent for post-mortem. The wreckage has been secured for technical analysis. A case has been registered, and investigators are not ruling out the possibility of a short-circuit or fuel leakage triggering the fire. Relatives of the victims are being contacted, and grief has engulfed their home in Delhi.
Wedding Return Becomes Fatal Ride
The incident has once again highlighted the dangers of long road journeys, especially during night hours. Lack of road safety awareness, poor vehicle maintenance, and fatigue remain common causes behind such deadly crashes. Local authorities have urged the public to follow safety guidelines, including regular vehicle checks and cautious night driving.
