The lone survivor, Avinash Khandare, managed to save himself after escaping from the sinking vehicle and taking refuge on a tree in the middle of the flooded river.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The incident occurred near Daheli village on the Darwha\u2013Arni road, where torrential rains that lashed Yavatmal district over the past two days caused the bridge over the Padan River to be submerged. <!-- -->Unable to assess the depth and force of the water in the darkness, Avinash attempted to drive across the bridge. However, the powerful current swept the vehicle off the bridge and into the river.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>According to family members, Avinash Khandare and his family had visited his wife Madhavi&#8217;s parental home in Ralegaon. After spending the day there, they had dinner and began their return journey late at night.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Before heading home, they dropped off a relative and his wife at Bori Arab village. Around midnight, while travelling towards Loni via Darwha, they reached the flooded bridge near Daheli village.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>As the car was swept away, Avinash acted quickly and managed to escape from the moving vehicle. He grabbed hold of a tree in the river and even tried to save one of his daughters by holding her hand. However, the force of the floodwaters was so strong that she slipped from his grip and was carried away by the current.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Stranded on the tree throughout the night, Avinash shouted for help. After receiving information about the accident, local villagers and disaster management rescue teams rushed to the spot.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Despite the darkness and strong currents, rescuers launched an operation and safely brought Avinash down from the tree around 1:30 am. He was later admitted to a hospital for treatment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The search for the missing woman and two children resumed early Friday morning. <!-- -->Around 1:30 pm, all three bodies were recovered from the Bori Gosavi village limits in Yavatmal taluka. Police conducted post-mortem examinations before handing over the bodies to the grieving family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The tragic incident has cast a pall of gloom over the region. Emotional scenes were witnessed at the hospital and during the identification of the bodies, leaving relatives and locals devastated.
