While one of them died on the spot, two others succumbed to their injuries in the district headquarters hospital, he said.
According to Ajay Kumar Jena, the inspector-in-charge of Panikoili police station in the district, the truck, loaded with potatoes, was seized following the incident and its driver arrested.
