Madhubani, Bihar – A police driver lost his life following a severe accident on National Highway 27 in the Madhubani district.

Accident circumstances
The vehicle was being operated by Tej Narayan Sah, a driver assigned to the Madhubani Police Centre. An abrupt tyre‑pothole impact caused the driver to lose steering control, sending the Bolero into the path of a moving truck.

Police patrol units reached the site within minutes. Sah was first taken to the Sub‑Divisional Hospital for stabilization. Owing to the seriousness of his injuries, medical personnel transferred him to Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) for advanced care.
