One person died and three others, including two women, sustained injuries as an apple laden truck fell into gorge in Himachal Pradesh's Shimla district on Wednesday, police said.
The 42-year-old truck driver Harnam Singh of Ludhiana (Punjab) died and its cleaner Sudhir Kumar (25) of Bihar's Vaishali district was injured, police said.
As the truck fell into the gorge, a kutcha house (dharha) near Anandpur on Shoghi bypass was also damaged and two women inhabitants were injured, Shimla Superintendent of Police Omapati Jamwal said.
The injured women were identified as Vimla (18) and Dhani Kala (50) and have been admitted in a nearby hospital for treatment, he said.
