A devastating accident on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura claimed six lives and left two people seriously injured when an Agra-bound mini-van crashed into a truck at milestone 140 around 3 AM on Saturday. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shlok Kumar stated that the collision likely occurred because the van driver fell asleep at the wheel.
