In a tragic accident late Saturday night, two youths lost their lives, and one sustained serious injuries when their car rolled down a steep road near Patrakar Bihar in Shimla’s Chakkar area. The accident involved an Ignis car (HP 03 C 9617), which was heading from Chakkar towards the main road when it went off the road and plunged down a hillside.
The victims have been identified as Ajay (27) and Vishal (27), who died at the scene. The third occupant, Kapil (30), was critically injured and rushed to Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) Hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
