The first incident was reported from the Nilbagan area of Hojai, where a speeding vehicle collided with the railing of a bridge during the early morning hours. This crash instantly claimed the lives of three passengers at the scene. The fourth passenger, critically injured, was rushed to a nearby hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
The second accident took place in the Golakgunj area of Dhubri, where a car veered off the road and struck nearby trees. The collision resulted in the immediate deaths of a woman and a 10-month-old child. Despite the swift rescue efforts by police and locals, a 1.5-month-old infant later died in the hospital, while two others remain under medical care.
