“The accident occurred when an SUV with white colour coming from Six Mile side was making a U-turn at the Assam Rifle Transit Camp point and a black Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) was coming from the opposite direction,” the police officer told PTI.

The vehicle coming from Khanapara was at a very high speed and the impact of the collision was so huge that the black SUV climbed up to the footover bridge and then fell on the road, he added.

The black SUV broke the iron railing of the structure and damaged the footover bridge, and it got mangled after the accident, the officer said.

The occupants in the black SUV probably came from a nearby bar as entry bands were seen tied on their hands, he said.
