“Nine people were brought dead and the pregnant woman’s health was deteriorating. Three are critical and have been referred to a hospital in Indore for further treatment,” he added.

The bodies of the deceased lay scattered around the accident site due to the impact. According to sources, the victims were mostly labourers from Rajasthan, who were going to Dewas to work as farm labourers.
