The deceased were identified as Mishra Kapoor, his wife Nisha Anand, his mother Kiran Kapoor, and another family member, Neeraj.
The family was reportedly returning to Saharanpur after completing their Diwali shopping when the accident occurred. The six-year-old boy, Maheer Kapoor, who was also travelling in the car, suffered severe injuries. He was immediately rescued and shifted to a hospital for treatment.
The accident triggered panic in the area, while rescue efforts were undertaken to retrieve the occupants trapped inside the badly damaged vehicle. Police reached the spot and initiated an investigation into the circumstances leading to the accident.
