Two persons, including a teenager, were killed in separate road accidents involving trucks in Jharkhand’s Seraikela-Kharswan district on Thursday. In the first incident, a student was killed when a truck rammed into his scooter from behind, while the second incident involved a 20-year-old youth being crushed to death under the wheels of a truck while returning home on his motorcycle.
Locals were angered by the second incident and briefly blocked the road, but they withdrew the blockade after about 30 minutes following police assurances that necessary action would be taken.
