Three killed as car ploughs into house

Three persons, including two girls, were killed and two others injured when their car ploughed into a house near the Jaunpur-Allahabad highway, police said today.

Vishal (20) took his cousin sisters Priyansh and Divya, aged 8 and 9, for a joyride in his new car when he lost control over it and the vehicle rammed into a house last night.

The three died on the spot, while two persons sleeping outside the house were seriously injured. They have been taken to Varanasi for treatment, police said.
