Tragic Road Accident Near Pinjore: Four Young Men Lose Their Lives in High-Speed Collision

In a tragic incident early Sunday morning near Pinjore, four young men lost their lives in a severe road accident. The mishap occurred around 5 a.m. on the Pinjore Tipra Bypass when a high-speed car collided with a stationary truck parked by the roadside. The impact was so intense that the car was completely mangled, with two bodies trapped inside the wreckage.

The deceased have been identified as Adhyan Bansal, Adeep, Chirag Malik, and Vaibhav Yadav. They were returning from Himachal Pradesh when the unfortunate event took place. Authorities have sent their bodies to the mortuary at Sector-6 Civil Hospital for post-mortem examinations.

Preliminary investigations suggest that excessive speed was a significant factor leading to the accident. Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage to ascertain the exact cause. The incident has left the victims’ families in profound grief.

The Pinjore-Baddi-Nalagarh highway has been notorious for traffic congestion and frequent accidents. Despite the initiation of a four-lane expansion project in April 2022, progress has been sluggish. As of December 31, 2024, only 38.60% of the work had been completed. Delays have been attributed to issues such as delayed mining permissions, damage to bridges during monsoons, and election-related hold-ups. The lack of adequate parking spaces and limited roadway width exacerbate the situation, leading to daily traffic chaos and mishaps. citeturn0search1

Local residents and commuters have long voiced concerns over the hazardous conditions of this route. The industrial significance of the Baddi-Barotiwala area in Himachal Pradesh means that a substantial number of vehicles traverse this highway daily. The incomplete infrastructure not only hampers smooth traffic flow but also poses serious safety risks.

This recent accident underscores the urgent need for expediting the highway’s expansion and implementing stringent traffic regulations to prevent further tragedies.
