Truck Runs Over 5 People in Patna
Patna: Five people were killed in the Patna city area late on Saturday night when a truck ran over them as they were sleeping on the road outside a slum cluster.

The incident occurred outside a government construction site in the Agamkuan area of Patna city. The deceased reportedly belong to families of labourers who were working on the construction site. Reports indicate the driver of the truck, who is absconding, was reversing his truck on the site and accidentally ran over the people as he did not notice them.

The driver of the truck managed to escape after the incident but cops say they have arrested the person in-charge of the truck and are looking for the driver. The dead bodies have been sent for post-mortem at a local hospital.
