Fatal Truck Accident on Ludhiana-Delhi Highway
A tragic road accident occurred on Monday near a religious place on the Ludhiana-Delhi National Highway in Khanna, claiming the life of a 53-year-old woman and leaving her husband critically injured. The deceased, identified as Narinder Kaur, a resident of Rasidpur village in Fatehgarh Sahib district, died on the spot after being run over by a speeding container truck. Her husband, Bharpur Singh, sustained severe injuries and was rushed to a hospital.
According to sources, the couple had visited Khanna to meet an acquaintance and were returning home when the accident happened. The impact of the collision was so intense that Narinder Kaur was dragged under the vehicle, leading to her instantaneous death. Eyewitness Amandeep reported that the container driver was speeding and attempted to flee the scene. Local residents chased the driver and managed to apprehend him, subsequently handing him over to the police.
Another eyewitness, Amandeep Singh, stated that Bharpur Singh lay on the road for a considerable time, pleading for help. In a disturbing turn of events, instead of assisting the injured man, some bystander allegedly stole his mobile phone and other belongings. Bharpur Singh was initially taken to the government hospital in Khanna and later referred to a hospital in Chandigarh for advanced medical treatment. Police have launched an investigation into the matter.
