Five members of a family including an infant were killed on Thursday morning when their car overturned following a tyre burst on a highway in Sirohi district, police said.

Kotwali Station House Officer Kailash Dan said the incident happened on the Bearwar-Pindwara highway when the family were on their way to Rajasthan's Phalodi from Gujarat.

The car was at a high speed when it suffered a tyre burst and overturned.

Police said Pratap (53), his wife Usha (48); Ramu Ram (50), Pooja (25) and her 11-month-old daughter Ashu died in the incident.

Sharad, another female member of the family, has been injured.

The five bodies have been sent to a mortuary for postmortem, the police said.

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).
