The incident happened when the family was returning from the temple visit in the capital. The accident happened early in the morning when the car rammed into the tree. It is not yet ascertained who is to be blamed for the accident. Police believe that the driver must have dozed off while driving and this resulted in him in losing control of the vehicle. The reports say that Balabhaskar and his daughter, Tejaswini have been sitting in the front next to the driver, which had the maximum impact from the accident.  Shimla Road Accident: 10 Dead, 3 Injured After Jeep Fell Into Gorge Near Sanail in Himachal Pradesh.
