A tragic road accident claimed the lives of three people, including a woman, and left four others severely injured after a speeding truck collided head-on with an auto-rickshaw near Kant town on Sunday afternoon, police said.
According to police, the fatal accident occurred when a truck coming from the Jalalabad direction rammed into the auto-rickshaw travelling from the opposite side. The impact of the collision was so severe that three passengers died on the spot. Upon receiving information about the crash, a police team rushed to the site and launched a rescue operation. Four injured passengers were pulled from the wreckage and immediately rushed to the Government Medical College for emergency treatment.
