A tragic road accident in the early hours of Saturday claimed the lives of five people, including a 13-year-old girl, when a mini bus collided with a stationary truck near Nelogi Cross in Jewargi taluk of Karnataka Kalaburagi district. Several others sustained injuries in the incident, police said.
According to officials, the truck had been halted on the left side of the road due to a punctured tyre, when the incident happened.

According to officials, the truck had been halted on the left side of the road due to a punctured tyre. The driver was reportedly in the process of changing the tyre when the mini bus rammed into it from behind.
