Two Kanwariyas were killed and a third individual was left in serious condition following a traffic collision early Wednesday morning. The incident took place on the Delhi-Dehradun National Highway when a speeding car collided with the motorcycle carrying the three pilgrims.

According to local police reports, the victims were participating in the Kanwar Yatra, an annual pilgrimage where devotees of Lord Shiva travel to collect holy water from the Ganges River. The impact of the collision resulted in immediate fatalities for two of the riders, while the third survivor was transported to a nearby medical facility for urgent treatment.

Authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. While police confirmed the basic facts of the collision—specifically the location, the timing, and the status of the victims—they have not yet released details regarding the driver of the car or whether any arrests have been made in connection with the incident. The highway, which experiences heavy traffic during the pilgrimage season, remains a focal point for safety concerns as thousands of devotees travel on foot and by vehicle. As of now, the identity of the driver and the specific cause of the collision remain under official review.
