Five people sustained injuries on Thursday, February 5, after an auto-rickshaw overturned on National Highway 55 near Odisha's Jagatsinghpur. The vehicle, which was reportedly carrying passengers beyond its capacity, lost control while navigating a sharp turn, causing it to flip several times before skidding off the road. Residents rushed to the spot to rescue the trapped passengers before emergency services arrived. All five injured individuals were transported to a nearby government hospital; while three were discharged after receiving first aid, two remain under observation with non-life-threatening injuries.
