Six members of a family were killed in a collision between a truck and a van on the Delhi-Yamunotri highway here, police said on Monday.

The accident took place on Sunday night when Adil, 25, his pregnant wife Asma, 24, Mashkoor, 26, his wife Rukhsar, 27, Rihanna, 38, and Sultana, 35, were returning to their home in Mirzapur village.

While four of them died on the spot, two others succumbed to injuries in a hospital on Monday morning, Dehat Superintendent of Police Suraj Rai told PTI.

The van was completely damaged in the collision.

The truck driver fled from the spot, he said, adding the bodies have been sent for post-mortem.

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).
