Five labourers were killed and five others seriously injured early on Wednesday after an over-speeding car crushed them to death in Haryana’s Hisar town, police said.

“Police have started a further investigation into the matter,” Bhardwaj said.
He also said those who were injured in the accident have been shifted to a hospital.
