Three killed, two injured in road accident in Katihar

Katihar, Nov 13 (UNI) At least three people, including a couple, were killed and two others seriously injured in a horrific road accident in Katihar district on Friday.
The accident occurred when a car carrying devotees travelling to Manihari for a holy dip in the Ganga went out of control and rammed into the rear of a heavy goods vehicle (Hyva truck) near Narayanpur (Kutubpur) under Manihari police station limits.
The deceased have been identified as Shambhu Prasad Singh (68), his wife Usha Singh (65), both residents of Navneet Nagar, Baigana, under Katihar Town police station, and their neighbour Manju Rani Saha.
According to reports, all three were travelling in the car to take a holy dip at Manihari Ganga Ghat when the vehicle collided with the truck. The impact was so severe that the car was badly mangled, trapping its occupants inside.

Manihari Station House Officer Santosh Kumar Jha reached the spot with a police team and retrieved the bodies from the wreckage.
The car driver and a granddaughter of the deceased couple also sustained serious injuries. Both were admitted to hospital for treatment.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.
