Patna: A tragic road accident in the city claimed the life of a 48-year-old well-known paediatrician of Begusarai after his car got hit by an uncontrolled vehicle leading to a head-on collision with another high-speed vehicle near Chanda village on the Mokama-Bakhtiyarpur four-lane highway.
The deceased, identified as Dr Balmukund Jha, suffered severe injuries as he was sitting at the back of the car. His location in the rear meant that he could not take advantage of the airbags that deployed during the accident, which ultimately saved the life of the driver, who sustained only minor injuries.

TOI has reported that the accident occurred around noon on Sunday when Dr Jha was travelling back to Begusarai from Patna. He ran a health centre of his late wife in the Begusarai district. While his driver was driving the car, an uncontrolled vehicle struck his car from the side, leading to a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle. This resulted in a heavy impact as his car was found destroyed from the front.
