An accident on Dussehra morning in Thane claimed the lives of six young men and left another seriously injured, when the vehicle they were riding to watch navratri celebrations at different locations rammed into a trailer, police said.
Around 2 a.m. Wednesday, the Bolero vehicle in which the youngsters were travelling lost control and rammed headlong into a trailer coming in the opposite lane, investigating officer V.B. Jadhav of Valiv Police Station said.
"The young boys were moving around in their vehicle from village to village since last night, to view the final navratri celebrations. While driving past Nagle village, the driver of the vehicle suddenly lost control, climbed onto a divider and rammed into an oncoming trailer in the opposite lane," Jadhav told IANS.
