Four young men were killed and a teenager sustained injuries when a speeding Thar overturned on the Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur district, police said on Monday.

The accident occurred at 56 pm on Sunday when the Delhi-registered SUV, carrying five people from Budaun district, was heading towards Delhi, according to police.

Police said the vehicle overturned five to six times before falling by the roadside, leaving the SUV severely damaged. Police and Dial-112 personnel reached the spot and rescued the occupants trapped inside the vehicle.

They were taken to the Sikheda community health centre, where doctors declared four of them dead, police said. The deceased were identified as Joginder (26), Sukhbir (25), Jaswant (20) and Ravi (20).

The injured, Vishnu (17), a resident of Palpur, is undergoing treatment, police said.

Simbhaoli Station House Officer Arvind Chaudhary said the bodies had been sent for post-mortem examination. "The cause of the accident is being investigated," he said.

According to police, a preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was speeding and gradually lost control. The SUV seemed to have flipped several times and turned turtle, police said. The vehicle was totally damaged and the occupants trapped inside.

Police said they are also trying to ascertain the circumstances that led to the crash, including the speed of the SUV. Chaudhary added, "A detailed investigation is underway."

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
