LUCKNOW, May 28 -- At least five people, including two children and an elderly woman, were killed and 14 others injured in two separate road accidents on highways in Uttar Pradesh late Tuesday night, police said. In Ayodhya district, two passengers died and nine others were injured after a Uttar Pradesh Roadways bus collided with a stationary trailer truck on the Lucknow-Gorakhpur National Highway near Zuberganj market under the Rounahi police station area post midnight on Wednesday. Police said the Rapti Nagar depot bus, bearing Kanpur registration number, was travelling from Lucknow to Gorakhpur when it rammed into the parked trailer. The impact completely crushed the front portion of the bus and several passengers were thrown from their seats. Panic broke out as injured passengers remained trapped inside the mangled vehicle. Rounahi police, assisted by local residents, launched a rescue operation and pulled passengers out of the damaged bus. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital, where eight were discharged after first aid while one critically injured passenger continues to undergo treatment. The deceased were identified as Sabir (54), a resident of Parewatar in Kushinagar district, and Suresh Kumar (43), a resident of Gomti Nagar in Lucknow. Police said preliminary investigation suggests overspeeding and the presence of the stationary trailer on the roadside. In another major accident, three members of a family were killed and five others seriously injured after their Scorpio SUV rammed into a tractor-trolley stationed on the Ganga Expressway near Salon in Rae Bareli district around 10:30 pm. The family was travelling from Noida to Seelampur village in Jaunpur district to attend a Ramayan programme. The deceased were identified as Saroj Singh (60), her granddaughter Samriddhi Singh (7), and another family member Sangeeta Singh (17). The injured included Gurcharan Singh (36), Neeraj Singh (42), Savita Singh (38), Pratibha Singh (32) and five-year-old Samarth Singh, whose condition is stated to be critical.
