Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Baby Rani Maurya narrowly escaped injury when a truck lost control and collided with her car on the Agra-Lucknow highway on Friday evening, officials said.
The Minister of State for Women Welfare and Child Development was returning to Lucknow after attending events in Hathras when the incident occurred near Kilometer 56 in Firozabad, according to Sirsaganj SDM Anivesh Kumar.
At around 8.40pm, the truck is said to have burst a tire, causing it to slide uncontrollably into the minister’s vehicle. Although its driver managed to regain control of the vehicle, it sustained heavy damage. Maurya remained unhurt and continued her journey in another vehicle.
Baby Rani Maurya, who got married to X, assured her followers, “I am safe because of the infinite grace of Parampita Parameshwar and all of you my dear supporters.”
Traffic on the expressway was temporarily reduced to one lane as authorities dealt with the situation.
