Man killed as parked vehicle rolls into ravine in Himachal's Sirmaur

Nahan, Nov 11 (UNI)A man was killed after a parked vehicle suddenly rolled backwards and plunged into a ravine in Kunhat village of Shillai subdivision in Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur district on Monday morning.
According to police, the vehicle was carrying three people who were returning home after collecting grass when the accident occurred. The deceased, identified as Mohan Singh, was sitting inside the vehicle when it rolled down the hillside.
Police said a case was registered at Shillai Police Station following a complaint by Randeep Chauhan, a resident of Kunhat village. In his complaint, Chauhan stated that on November 9, he, Mohan Singh and Yashpal had travelled to Ghasan village in a vehicle (HP17B-0718) to collect grass.
Yashpal was driving the vehicle, while Mohan Singh, the vehicle's owner, was seated in the front passenger seat and Chauhan was sitting in the rear.
The trio was returning to Kunhat with the collected grass. At around 10:30 am, after reaching the village, Yashpal stopped the vehicle on the roadside and stepped out to unload the grass. Chauhan also got out, while Mohan Singh remained inside.
