Chandigarh, Jan 23 (Inditop.com) Eight people were killed and seven seriously injured in a road accident in Haryana’s Jind district Saturday, police said.
This accident took place near Hatho village in Jind when a Tata Sumo car collided with a milk tanker.
“The car and a milk tanker collided head on. Sixteen passengers were sitting in the Sumo. Eight people — six women, one man and a child — were killed while others sustained serious injuries,” a police officer said.
All the injured have been shifted to a civil hospital at Narwana town in Jind district, around 150 km from Chandigarh.
