The mishap took place on NH-28 this morning under Bachhwara police station area and the truck was carrying a number of daily wage earners from Begusarai to Mahnar in the neighbouring district of Vaishali for work, in-charge of the police station Sumit Kumar said.
He said the speeding truck tried to overtake another vehicle while trying to avoid hitting two cycle-borne school boys and overturned.
Among the injured labourers, Dheeraj Kumar Sah succumbed to injuries while being taken to a hospital while Sonu Kumar died undergoing treatment. Nearly 40 other labourers, all of them residents of Begusarai district, are undergoing treatment for injuries received in the mishap, Kumar said.
