Lucknow, May 12

After traveling 1,300 km in an auto-rickshaw from Maharashtra, a mother and her six-year-old daughter were killed in an accident when a truck hit them on Tuesday just 230 km short of their destination in Jaunpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Woman Sanju Yadav and her daughter Nandini were part of a group that was travelling from Thane on the auto-rickshaw for the past three days when they met with the accident in Fatehpur district.

In another accident in Rae Bareli last evening, a 25-year-old migrant Shiv Kumar Das cycling down from Bulandshahr in western UP to Bihar was killed when a car knocked him down.

The car’s brake reportedly failed hitting the cyclist. The driver of the car was also injured in the accident.

Earlier on Monday, two migrants travelling in a truck to reach their village in Maharajganj in Uttar Pradesh were killed when the truck met with an accident. — TNS
