The accident occurred near Sona Cut in the Hapur Dehat police station area. According to police, the victims were among a group of passengers travelling from Sitapur to Delhi and Noida aboard a Uttar Pradesh Roadways bus from the Sitapur depot.

While the passengers were standing near the highway, a high-speed trailer truck allegedly lost control and ploughed into the group. The impact left eight people injured and two later succumbed to their injuries. The deceased have been identified as Nayra, 5, and Meera, 22, residents of Bargama village in Sitapur district. Police said the two were aunt and niece. Following the collision, the trailer driver abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene.
