A serious road accident took place near Vadigodri on the Dhule-Solapur highway, leaving eight members of the same family injured. The accident occurred when the vehicle hit a divider while attempting to overtake another vehicle.
The victims belong to the Tambe family from the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, who were en route to Pandharpur for a pilgrimage. The journey took a tragic turn due to the high-speed mishap.
Following the incident, all the injured family members were rushed to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar hospital, where they are currently receiving medical treatment.
Local authorities arrived at the scene shortly after the crash and are investigating the cause of the accident. Preliminary reports suggest that reckless overtaking may have led to the collision with the road divider.
This incident once again highlights the need for cautious driving, especially during festive or pilgrimage travel, when road traffic tends to be heavy.
