The incident occurred at 11pm on Tuesday when family of one Laxman Goel traveling in Ford Endeavour was on its way to Shahdara in Delhi. The family was returning home after attending a marriage ceremony in Agra.

The car was following an oil tanker, which took a sudden U-turn at Sikri-Pyala crossing under Ballabgarh Sadar police station, due to which the speeding Endeavour crashed into the tanker.

At hospital five members of the family were declared dead by doctors and two others who were seriously injured were shifted to Nagendra Mohan hospital in Mohan Nagar, Gaziabad and are on ventilator for now.
