The tragedy unfolded in two parts on the highway. First, a speeding mini-truck lost control and crashed into another truck that was parked on the roadside. Seeing the crash, some passersby and locals rushed to the spot to help the injured driver of the mini-truck.
While these good samaritans were trying to rescue the driver, a third truck loaded with vegetables came speeding from behind. The driver failed to brake in time and ran over the people gathered there. The impact was so strong that the victims were thrown several feet into the air.
Condition of injured and Police action
According to the Sector-58 police station, two people lost their lives in this horrific sequence of events. Around four to six others were injured, out of which three are in critical condition and fighting for their lives in a private hospital.
The police have sent the bodies for post-mortem and have started an investigation. Officials are checking if the truck parked on the roadside was standing illegally. They are also trying to track down the details of the vegetable truck that caused the fatal crush. This was the second death in the area on the same day, following an earlier accident involving a delivery boy.
