A woman was killed and 4 people were injured when a private car crashed near Betob by Farsali village in Kapkot while travelling from Munsiyari to Delhi. The accident occurred after the vehicle’s brakes reportedly failed, leaving it out of control.
All 5 occupants belonged to the same family. The deceased was identified as 48-year-old Kaushalya Devi. She died at the scene, according to the available details.
The injured were identified as driver Ramesh Singh, 54, son of Kishan Singh; Khila Devi, 59, wife of Ganesh Singh; Bhupendra Singh, 27, son of Ganesh Singh; and Chahat Singh, 24, son of Ganesh Singh. All 4 were travelling in the car when it crashed.
Brake problem reported before crash
The vehicle had reportedly been experiencing brake trouble before reaching the accident site. After leaving Munsiyari, the occupants tried to get the brakes repaired at Mawani.
That effort did not fully resolve the problem. The family then planned to have the car repaired after reaching Bharari. Before they could do so, the car lost control near Betob and met with the accident.
The account of the brake failure is part of the information being examined by police. The investigation will establish the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Police response and medical care
After receiving information about the accident, Station House Officer Pratap Singh reached the location with a police team. He transported 3 of the injured people to the Community Health Centre in Kapkot in his vehicle.
Kaushalya Devi’s body was sent to Bageshwar for a -mortem examination. The available report does not provide separate details about the treatment of the fourth injured person.
The crash has resulted in a death, injuries to 4 members of the travelling family and an ongoing police inquiry. Further verified details will depend on the investigation and -mortem process.
Conclusion
The Kapkot crash near Betob left Kaushalya Devi dead and 4 family members injured after a car with an unresolved brake problem lost control. Police have begun investigating the incident.
