Three dead in road accident

At least three people were killed when the goods carrier they were travelling on rammed into a 16-wheel truck on the Agra-Mathura highway early Saturday, officials said.

A mother and her son are among the dead. At least six people, including the driver of the vehicle, were seriously injured in accident near a village about 30 kms from here, police said.

Eyewitnesses said the goods carrier was overloaded with people headed to Mathura for a pilgrimage.
