The vehicle reportedly went out of control in a pine forest area and plunged nearly 150 feet into a gorge. It is suspected that dry pine needles on the road, following Sunday night’s hailstorm, may have caused the car to skid.
One person died on the spot, while another, who was seriously injured, succumbed to injuries at the local medical college. Residents rushed to the accident site and began rescue operations. A police team also reached the spot within half an hour.
The deceased have been identified as Ramesh Chand, 74, and Santosh Kumari, 69. The injured, Prithavi Chand and Saroj Kumari, are undergoing treatment at the medical college and hospital in Hamirpur.
SP Balbir Thakur said a case had been registered and the bodies were handed over to the family after post-mortem examination.
