Rahul Gandhi’s convoy is involved in a road accident on the Purvanchal Expressway in Uttar Pradesh, where multiple vehicles collide with an ambulance. Several outlets report that Gandhi remains safe and that his own vehicle is unaffected or he is unhurt.
Reports say the incident occurs while Gandhi is travelling to Sultanpur for a court appearance related to a defamation case. The accounts describe the accident as involving five vehicles and an ambulance, with most injuries reported among Congress workers and some security personnel or party staff. One outlet also notes the trip is to appear before a special court.
Coverage differs in how it characterises the crash—some describe it as minor while others use broader terms—and in what details they choose to foreground. Several outlets refer to video or report CCTV footage of the collision, while others focus mainly on the fact that Gandhi is safe and the convoy vehicles were involved. The reported location and immediate injury figures are not consistently detailed across all summaries.
