New Delhi, Oct. 25 -- Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Baby Rani Maurya narrowly avoided injury when a truck lost control and collided with her car on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway on Friday night, officials said.

The state minister for women's welfare and child development was returning to Lucknow after attending events in Hathras when the incident occurred near the 56th kilometre mark in Firozabad, according to Sirsaganj SDM Anivesh Kumar.

At around 8:40 pm, the truck reportedly suffered a tyre blowout, causing it to skid uncontrollably into the minister's vehicle. Though her driver managed to regain control, the car sustained heavy damage. Maurya remained unharmed and continued her journey in another vehicle.
