A vehicle was struck by a truck earlier on February 26, in Meghalaya's Ri Bhoi district, resulting in the deaths of up to six people.
Initial reports state that the disaster happened near Sumer, Meghalaya, when a cement truck crashed into a Bolero carrying the victims.
At Sumer in Meghalaya, the cement-laden truck's driver lost control of the wheel as it was travelling towards Guwahati. The truck struck the divider and veered into the opposing lane, striking a Bolero that was approaching from the opposite direction.
According to reports, the accident in Meghalaya claimed the lives of all six people inside the car, including the driver, priest, and three nuns from a missionary school headquartered in Bongaigaon, Assam.

Mathew Das, parish priest of Barama Parish, along with three sisters of the Fatima convent in Barama and Baganpara and a teacher of Barama St. John's HS School, met with a fatal accident on the way to Shillong near Nongpoh in Meghalaya and died on the spot."
