There has been a tragic and heartrending car accident in Paradip block of Jagatsinghpur district in Odisha. Reports say that, the accident took place late last night. It was in the wee hours that the locals spotted the car and immediately informed the police.
According to reports, the couple was returning from a relative’s house in Paradipgarh village late last night. While turning from the village road to the main road, it is believed that the car veered off the road. It then slipped into a trench besides the road and turned turtle.
Since it has been raining since so many days, the trench was filled with water. Reports say that, water entered the car and the couple got stuck. It is likely that they died due to suffocation and drowning. By the time the locals spotted them and they were rescued, it was too late.
The police recovered the bodies and sent them to Astaranga hospital. The doctors there declared them brought dead. The bodies have been kept in the hospital and authorities are waiting for the relatives to arrive. A probe has been initiated to find the cause of the car accident in Paradip.
