Twelve people, including five women and three children, were killed and three others were injured on Monday night near Nagda road in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain following a head-on collision between two cars.
“The accident took place at midnight when a family was returning home in Ujjain in the van after attending a marriage function in Nagda.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a tweet on the same that read, “The road accident in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain district is unfortunate. My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their loved ones.”
