The toll in the accident involving two trucks and a private bus at Musunuru in Nellore district early on Saturday rose to seven.

The accident occurred at around 2 am when a truck transporting cattle to Srikalahasti was hit from behind by another truck carrying iron, police said.

Four people died on the spot, he said, adding that three more died in Nellore government hospital.

A case under Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code was registered.

Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh Governor S Abdul Nazeer expressed anguish and profound grief over the mishap.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
