The first accident happened early Saturday on the Gorakhpur-Varanasi highway in Mau district. According to police, a sports utility vehicle (SUV) carrying six people, including the driver and family members, was traveling from Ranchi to Gorakhpur after the wedding of the family's daughter. The driver, Purushottam (47), reportedly lost consciousness due to fatigue. As a result, the vehicle hit a road divider and moved into the opposite lane, where it collided with a trailer.
