Five people were killed when a car ran them over on the Jindal railway over bridge in the town in the wee hours of Wednesday.

Reports say around 10 others, including the car occupants, were injured.

The victims, who were engaged for repair and carpeting on the RoB, were sleeping on the pavement.

The I20 car driver lost control over the vehicle and ran the workers over.

The car fell about 70 feet below.

The RoB was opened for one-way traffic due to the ongoing repair work for two days.
