Tragedy Strikes as Car Plunges into Dry Canal in Tasgaon
Six members of a family met a tragic end and a woman was left critically injured in a devastating accident that occurred near Tasgaon. The incident took place on the Tasgaon-Manerajuri Road in the early hours of the morning, when a speeding Alto car veered off the road and plummeted into the Tasari Canal in the darkness. The car crashed with immense force on the canal bed, which was dry due to the end of the summer season, causing extensive damage to the vehicle.
The family had been returning to Tasgaon from Kavathe-Mahankal, where they had been celebrating the birthday of one of their daughters, who was among the deceased. While the exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, preliminary findings suggest that the driver, a member of the family, may have fallen asleep at the wheel during the early hours of the morning.
Rescue Efforts and Tragic Loss
The victims of the accident remained stranded in the darkness of the canal, far below the road level, for several hours before help arrived. Their cries for assistance went unheard until a local villager discovered the wreckage at dawn and alerted the authorities. By 6.30 a.m., rescue operations were underway, with the sole survivor, Swapnali V. Bhonsle, being rushed to LifeCare Hospital in Tasgaon for urgent medical treatment.
Tragically, the other occupants of the vehicle, identified as Rajendra J. Patil, his wife Sujata R. Patil, their daughter Priyanka A. Kharade, and their young grandchildren Dhruva, Rajvi, and Kartiki, all lost their lives in the accident. The bodies have been sent for autopsy, and a crane has been deployed to retrieve the car from the canal bed as part of the ongoing investigation.
