Gudamalani SHO Devichand Dhaka said that the incident took place at around 9pm on Sunday near Lunwa Jagir village. "The locals, who rushed to the spot on hearing a loud explosion, said that two people were pulled out from one of the vehicles. Both sustained grievous injuries and were initially taken to Bagoda Hospital before being referred to Bhinmal for advanced treatment.
