A high‑speed truck struck a tractor‑trolley carrying laborers from behind in Daloda, Mandasaur, killing a 6‑year‑old girl, a 45‑year‑old woman and an 8‑year‑old boy; several others were injured, including an 18‑year‑old whose legs were severed.
A speeding truck collided with a tractor‑trolley loaded with construction workers on a rural road in Daloda, a village in Mandasaur district of Madhya Pradesh. The impact, which occurred from behind, caused the trolley to overturn and resulted in immediate fatalities. A six‑year‑old girl, a 45‑year‑old woman and an eight‑year‑old boy died on the spot.
Emergency services arrived quickly, but several laborers sustained serious injuries. Among the wounded, an 18‑year‑old woman suffered severe trauma with both her legs amputated at the scene. Other victims were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment of fractures and lacerations.
Police have registered a case of hit‑and‑run after the truck driver fled the scene. A search operation is underway to locate the suspect, and authorities have urged witnesses to come forward with any information that could aid the investigation.
The incident has prompted local officials to call for stricter enforcement of speed limits on rural highways, especially where laborers frequently use makeshift transport such as tractor‑trolleys.
