The vehicle, reportedly traveling at high speed, flipped over two to three times after falling into the ditch and was thrown 50 metres away. Two senior citizens seated in the rear - Ramalaben Ariwala and Amritlal Ghivala, the relatives of the couple in the front - died on the spot. Initial investigations reveal that they were not wearing seat belts, a factor that contributed to their fatalities.
The couple seated in the front, who were wearing seat belts, survived but sustained serious injuries. They have been admitted to the Kasa Sub-District Hospital, where they are currently undergoing treatment.
