The people in the car could not be saved

The team of fire fighters who reached the accident near Sidhrawali village on the Delhi-Jaipur highway late night, brought the fire in the car under control, but the people in it could not be saved. In the accident that took place on Wednesday, two passengers died when a sleeper bus caught fire while 29 people were seriously burnt. Gurugram Police on Thursday said that the driver and conductor of the bus have been identified. Four people, including 28-year-old Maya and her 5-year-old daughter Deepali, died while 29 others were injured when a fire broke out in a moving sleeper bus around 08:30 pm on Wednesday night.

After hitting the car, the tanker driver broke the divider grill in front and reached the service lane going from Delhi to Jaipur, where he targeted a pickup van coming from the front. The pickup driver also died in the collision with the pickup van. People who were passing by informed the police about this matter and some people also made photos and videos of the burning car.
