Here's what happened

Vaibhavi and her fiancé were in travelling in a car when at a steep turn a truck collided with the car. Vaibhavi was sitting towards the valley and got thrown out of the car when the truck collided. She had not worn her seatbelt. A TOI report states that the young actress suffered serious head injuries and also a cardiac arrest which led to her death on the spot.

"She was in Himachal with her fiance. They were to marry in December. Their car was at a turn, and the road was relatively narrow. They stopped to let a truck pass. As the truck passed them, it nudged the car and slid into the valley. It toppled, and she was not wearing a seatbelt," JD Majethia was quoted saying.
