Four killed as car hits stationary truck in Jamshedpur

Four people, including Trisha Singh, daughter of Jharkhand Rural Development Minister Dipika Pandey Singh, were killed when the car they were travelling in struck a stationary truck in Jamshedpur early Thursday, police said. The crash occurred around 3 a.m. on Marine Drive in the city’s Sonari area, near Domuhani. Police identified the other people killed as Sarthak Agarwal, Naman Gupta and Vanshika Khandelwal. Deputy Superintendent of Police Manoj Thakur said all four occupants of the car died. The vehicle was severely damaged in the collision, according to reports from the scene. The truck was stationary along the roadside when the car hit it. One report describing images from the scene said a small branch had been placed at the truck’s rear and that no reflector signs were visible. That account said the truck appeared to have been stranded after a breakdown, but the supplied information does not establish whether it had broken down or what warning measures were in place. Police reached the scene and began investigating the circumstances of the crash. Officials said they were examining what happened to determine the exact cause.
