The second incident took place near Dhalli, at the junction that branches off towards Shimla, Mashobra. In this grim sequel, a speeding truck, laden with apples, collided with a pick-up vehicle, killing two persons on the spot. The incident took place in the wee hours of Wednesday.


The truck’s driver and cleaner were grievously injured and rushed to the Indira Gandhi Medical College & Hospital, Shimla.


The pick-up vehicle was left so badly mangled following the collision that an iron cutter had to be used to free him. But he, along with another occupant of the pick-up, vehicle died on the spot.
