The accident occurred near Doriganj in Chhapra district when a speeding truck coming from the opposite direction rammed into their Scorpio vehicle. Eyewitnesses stated that the impact was so severe that the Scorpio was badly mangled. Given the condition of the vehicle, survival seemed unlikely, but by the grace of God, all passengers survived. Those injured in the accident include former Mukhiya Upendra Singh, his wife Seema Singh, his sons Karan Singh and Shambhu Singh, Shambhu's wife Rinku Singh, and two children, Gaurav Singh and Saurabh Singh.

According to family members, most sustained minor injuries, while Karan Singh, who was driving the Scorpio, suffered serious injuries. He is receiving treatment under medical supervision.
