The police said early findings suggest speeding Innova was the primary cause, and the truck driver was not at fault.

At least six people died after a car accident in Uttarakhand's Dehradun city when they were returning from a party, media reports said.

The heads of two youngsters were severed from their bodies as the roof of the car broke. Since the MUV’s driver, who owned the vehicle, did not survive, the police is looking into legal alternatives as no charges can be filed posthumously.

Police seek expert advice on legal steps after an accident that killed six, including three women, with one person seriously injured.

The accident took place around 1.30 am in Dehradun, where a speeding Innova car crashed into the rear of a container truck, leaving the car in a wrecked state.
