Four members of a family were killed and a five-year-old child injured after a truck loaded with chickpeas overturned onto their car on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway in Haryana’s Rewari district, officials said.
The accident occurred around 11.30 p.m. on Saturday near Banipur Chowk in Bawal. The truck reportedly lost control and toppled onto the car as it approached the flyover.

The injured were taken to a civil hospital, where two victims were declared brought dead. Two others later succumbed to their injuries. The five-year-old child is undergoing treatment.
The deceased have been identified as Deepak, Sarita, Nitin and Divya.
Deepak, a resident of Bholawas village in Rajasthan’s Aluwali area of Banpur, had been living in Delhi with his family. The family had recently visited their ancestral village and was returning to Dwarka in Delhi on Saturday when the accident occurred.
The incident comes days after a truck collided with an auto-rickshaw in Delhi’s Sonia Vihar area, leaving three people dead and five injured.
According to police, the dumper truck hit the auto-rickshaw before its driver fled the scene. The injured were taken to JPC Hospital. Two men, identified as Satbir, aged around 30-32, and an unidentified person, along with a six-month-old infant, were declared brought dead by doctors.
