Three people were killed while ten others sustained injuries after a speeding tempo traveller rammed into a water tanker on National Highway (NH) 24 near East Delhi's Kalyanpuri area on Friday.
An official said the tempo, with 13 people on board, was en route to Nainital from West Delhi's Uttam Nagar area when the collision took place.
