Two persons, including a minor girl, were killed and three others injured in a road accident today in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district, a police officer said.
The girl, aged around 10, was crossing the road near Manikpur Chowk in Saraiya police station area when a speeding car, with three passengers on board, knocked her down, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Shankar Jha said.

The girl and the driver died on the spot, while the three passengers, who suffered injuries, were admitted to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) in Muzaffarpur, the officer said.
