A devastating road accident in the early hours of Saturday claimed four young lives in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district, leaving people in shock and mourning. The incident took place near Kulgaon, under the jurisdiction of the Kanker police, when a car slammed into a bridge barrier and erupted into flames.

According to local police officials, the crash occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m. as six individuals were traveling from Keshkal to Kanker. Preliminary accounts suggest that the group may have been inebriated at the time of the accident.
