A businessman from Agra and his staff lost their lives in an accident that took place on the Yamuna Expressway within the limits of Baldev police station in Mathura district in the early hours of Tuesday. The car is found crashed into a divider, which indicates the possibility of a flat tire or the driver falling asleep while driving.
