Two persons were killed and three others were seriously injured when a speeding SUV hit a taxi head-on on the national highway near Kiratpur Sahib on Friday morning.

Taxi driver Yuvraj Singh (30), a resident of Kangri, was killed on the spot, while Deepti Sharma of Hamirpur died later. Her child was also injured in the accident. All injured were admitted to a hospital.

Local residents said the SUV coming from Delhi was on the wrong side and it hit the taxi coming from the Hamirpur side. The SUV driver, one woman and a co-passenger reportedly fled the spot after the accident.

Car occupants were extricated from the mangled remains of the vehicle by passers-by. Kiratpur SHO Jatin Kapoor said a case had been registered and the probe was on.

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).
