Among the six injured individuals, including the Innova's driver, two are in serious condition, and all are currently receiving medical attention, as per the DCP's statement.
Apart from the Innova, five additional vehicles were involved in the sea link accident, and a total of seven people, including the driver, were in the Innova at the time of the incident.
