Speeding Truck Crushes Mother, Daughter to Death in Mirzapur

A tragic road accident on the Varanasi–Rewa Highway in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district claimed the lives of a woman and her minor daughter on Saturday afternoon.

The incident occurred on the Bastra flyover under Lalganj police station limits, where a speeding truck rammed into a motorcycle carrying a family from Ghazipur.

The deceased have been identified as Rita (35) and her 12-year-old daughter Soumya, who died on the spot. Rita’s husband, Manoj Chaudhary (38), who was riding the motorcycle, sustained serious injuries. The truck driver, Rohit Tiwari (35), was also injured. Both have been referred to a trauma centre for advanced treatment.

According to police, the family, residents of Hariballavpur Tiwari Pur village in Mohammadabad area of Ghazipur, were travelling to Mauganj in Madhya Pradesh, where Manoj intended to take up parwal cultivation.

CCTV footage shows the truck losing control on the flyover. In an apparent attempt to avoid other vehicles, it hit the motorcycle, crashed into the bridge railing, crossed lanes, and struck the opposite barrier.

Police reached the spot promptly and shifted the injured to Lalganj Community Health Centre before referring them to Mirzapur Trauma Centre. The accident led to panic and temporary traffic congestion on the flyover before normal movement was restored.

Station House Officer Abhay Kumar Singh said the bodies have been sent for post-mortem, and further investigation is underway.
