Up to six individuals perished in a horrific traffic accident last month in the Ri Bhoi district of Meghalaya after their car was struck by a truck. The incident happened in Sumer, Meghalaya, when a cement-carrying truck collided with a Bolero carrying the victims.
At Sumer in Meghalaya, the cement-laden truck's driver lost control of the wheel as it was traveling 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 and three nuns from a missionary school headquartered in Bongaigaon, Assam.
