Shahjahanpur, March 18

Three people, including a toddler, died when a truck hit the scooter they were riding and dragged the two-wheeler for almost 500 metres, police said on Saturday.

The incident took place near the Katra overbridge here on Friday night, they said.

Ramdeen (40), his sister-in-law Surja Devi (35) and three-year-old nephew, all residents of Lalpur village under Katra police station, were headed home when a truck rammed into their scooter from behind. The scooter got entangled with the truck and was dragged for around 500 metres, said Superintendent of Police S Anand.

After reaching the spot, police personnel sent the three to a Bareilly hospital, where doctors declared them brought dead, he said.

The bodies had been sent for post-mortem, the police said, adding that the truck driver fled the spot, leaving behind his vehicle.

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).
