Watch Video: At least 5 killed, several injured after truck crashes into vehicles on Jharkhand highway

At least five individuals were killed on the spot after a truck smashed into six vehicles on NH 33 in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district on Tuesday, a senior official said.

A horrifying video that was captured of the accident shows the out-of-control trailer truck ramming into the vehicles on its way before crashing on top of a car.

The accident took place at Patel Chowk in the Ramgarh police station area around noon, causing four deaths on the spot.

The car pinned underneath was dragged for a while before the truck came to a halt.
