Amreli: A tragic accident occurred late at night near Rajula in Amreli district, when a speeding car crashed into a truck illegally parked near the Hindorna Bridge on the Bhavnagar-Somnath Highway.

The deceased has been identified as Arjanbhai Bhojbhai Mori. The three injured passengers, Dharmendrasinh Kanubhai Parmar, Sanjaysinh Jorsan Mori, and Nitaben Sanjaysinh Mori, were rushed to Bhavnagar Hospital for urgent treatment.
