MOHALI, Dec 30: A late-night road accident near Phase 8 claimed the life of a 22-year-old man and left three others injured after two SUVs rammed into each other head-on, officials said Monday.
The crash took place around 2 a.m., leaving both vehicles badly mangled. Sahib Deep Singh, who was travelling in one of the SUVs, suffered fatal injuries and died during treatment.
“The injured were immediately shifted to a local hospital,” a police officer said. “Their condition is serious, and they are being closely monitored.”
Police have registered a case of negligent driving at the Phase 8-B police station and are examining CCTV footage from the area to reconstruct the sequence of events.
