Dehradun Accident Latest News Today: The families of six students who tragically lost their lives in a road accident in Dehradun have not yet filed a complaint with the police, potentially affecting the next steps in the investigation, according to reports.

Police are consulting with legal experts regarding possible actions, as initial findings indicate that the truck driver involved may not have been at fault. The accident, which occurred early Tuesday at ONGC Chowk, claimed the lives of six individuals—three women and three men—while one person sustained severe injuries.

Inspector KC Bhatt of the Cantt police station noted that a formal case had not been registered due to the absence of a complaint from the victims' families. "Without a complaint from the families, we are unable to proceed with case registration," Bhatt stated.

Dehradun Accident Latest News Today:

The crash took place at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday when a speeding Innova collided with the rear of a container truck, leaving the vehicle completely wrecked. According to Circle Officer (City) Neeraj Semwal, all six victims, under the age of 25, died instantly. A seventh passenger, 25-year-old Siddhesh Agrawal, survived but remains in critical condition at Synergy Hospital.

Preliminary investigations suggest the collision occurred in the truck’s rear blind spot, an area challenging for large vehicles. The car, reportedly speeding as it neared ONGC Chowk, crashed into the truck’s rear left section. CCTV footage revealed that the vehicle was moving at a normal speed earlier in the night, but accelerated suddenly before the accident.

Most of the victims were residents of Dehradun, with one from Chamba.
