The driver, relying on Google Maps for directions, unknowingly guided the van onto the Somi-Upreda Bridge, which had been closed for several months. As the van entered the bridge, it became stuck and was quickly pulled into the river's strong currents, the police stated. All routes for crossing the river were closed due to the surge in the Banas River. The bodies of two women and a child have been recovered, and the search for the body of another child is under way. The victims have been identified as Chanda, 21, her daughter, Rutvi, 6, Mamta, 25, and her daughter, Khushi, 4.
