Three persons were killed and 11 others injured after a bus hit a stationary truck in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district in the wee hours of Tuesday, police said.
The mishap took place near Mangela village around 3 am when the private bus was going from Banda in Uttar Pradesh to Nagpur in Maharashtra.
It collided with a truck parked on a roadside near Mangela village, located about 20 km from here, Bargi police station in-charge R D Dwivedi said.
The deceased included two bus passengers - Mansi Tiwari (18) and an unidentified man - and a resident of Mangela village, Narayan Rajput (20), who was standing near the stationary truck.
