New Delhi, Jun 06: Two labourers, including a woman, were crushed to death by a speeding truck in south Delhi in the wee hours today, police said.
The incident took place in Fatehpur Beri at around 4.30 am and the deceased has been identified as Sita (30), hailing from Rajasthan, and Kailash (40), a native of Madhopur in Jharkhand.
They were on way to a construction site in a three-wheeler trolley when the accident took place. They were crossing the road in the trolley.
“The trolley was loaded with dug up soil and Sita was sitting on it while Kailash was pulling the trolley. After the truck hit the trolley, they fell off it and sustained severe injuries,” a senior police official said.
Kailash died on the spot while Sita succumbed to her injuries during treatment at the AIIMS Trauma Centre.
