Six people were killed and two others seriously injured after the car they were travelling in collided head-on with a truck in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday evening. The incident took place at around 10 pm when the vehicles were on a bridge on the Kalyani river near Kutlupur village under the Deva police station limits. The deceased have been identified as the residents of Fatehpur town. The impact of the collision was so severe that the car, which did not have a number plate and appeared new, was mangled to the extent that a crane was used to remove it off the road. #WATCH | Uttar Pradesh: Six people died, two injured in a collision between a truck and a car at Deva-Fathepur road under Deva Police Station area, in Barabanki. pic.twitter.com/a3HqmbA66e — ANI (@ANI) November 4, 2025 Soon after receiving the information, police reached the spot and took the injured to a nearby community health centre and then to the district hospital.
