CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: Church Choir Vehicle Overturns and Falls into Gorge | 2 Dead, Several Injured in Meghalaya, India [#MeghalayaChurchChoir #KynrudPresbyterianChurch #NongrilongPresbyterianChurch]
A Bolero pickup carrying the Kynrud Presbyterian Church choir overturned and plunged down a deep valley in Kynrut village, West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya on Sunday, killing 2 people and injuring several others.
The choir was on its way to a church service at Nongrilong Presbyterian Church in Mawdem, Meghalaya which is part of the Mawthadraishan constituency.
Clement Nongsej, Kynrud’s Sordar, claimed that news of the disaster reached the village around 11 AM IST.
The vehicle, which was carrying more than 15 passengers, drove off the road in Kyllem village and plunged approximately 100 meters into a gorge, apparently due to brake failure.
Emergency responders and villagers rushed to rescue the injured, bringing them to medical facilities such as Kynrud PHC, Mairang Civil Hospital, and Shillong.
Tragically, the driver and 1 choir member died from their injuries.
The rough topography at the accident site hampered rescue efforts.
Despite the hurdles, people worked tirelessly all night, navigating darkness and isolation to ensure the injured received medical care.
