Road accident snuffs out lives of six in Odisha
The poor visibility due to dense fog might be one of the causes of the road mishap. Besides, the driver of the van might have possibly dozed off leading to the mishap.
A couple died when their bike was hit head-on by a lorry at Ranaghat in West Bengal’s Nadia district on Sunday, police said.
Their four-year-old son was seriously injured in the accident on National Highway 34 and is now battling for his life in Ranaghat Sub-divisional Hospital.
The husband and wife, who were going from Chakdah to Ranaghtat, died on the spot.
