Four of a Family Killed in Hardoi Expressway Crash, Elderly Father Breaks Down
A tragic road accident on the Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district has left two families devastated. An elderly father broke down in tears after seeing the bodies of his only son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons, all of whom died when their SUV crashed into a road divider.
The victims were identified as Saurabh Upadhyay, his wife Menaka Upadhyay, and their two sons, seven-year-old Vyom and 18-month-old Shivom. The family was travelling from Noida to their hometown Prayagraj to celebrate Bhai Dooj and Chhath Puja when the accident occurred on November 11 near kilometre marker 317 in the Sandi police station area.
According to reports, the SUV went out of control and rammed into the divider. The impact was so severe that the vehicle was dragged along the divider for nearly 30 metres. Saurabh and Menaka died at the scene, while both children succumbed to their injuries after being taken to nearby medical facilities.
The post-mortem examinations of all four victims were conducted late Wednesday night, around 12:30 am. The bodies were subsequently handed over to the family for the final rites. Reports described the injuries as severe, reflecting the intensity of the collision.
Saurabh was the only son of his elderly parents, making the tragedy particularly devastating for the family. The exact circumstances leading to the accident are being investigated by the police.
