Couple's late-night expressway crash leaves family shattered
A Delhi couple, Lacchi Ram (42) and Kusum Lata (38), lost their lives in a late-night accident on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Nuh.
Their car was hit from behind by a heavy vehicle and pushed into a barrier, leaving them trapped for nearly eight hours before anyone noticed.
The couple, who have four children and roots in Rajasthan, were found only after worried family calls were finally answered by police the next morning—a moment that changed everything for their loved ones.
What's happening now
Police are checking CCTV footage to track down two vehicles suspected of causing the crash.
An FIR has been filed against an unidentified driver for rash driving and negligence.
Inspector Praveen Kumar from Nuh Sadar police station is leading the investigation as authorities work to bring answers—and hopefully some closure—to the grieving family.
