LUCKNOW, May 28 -- Six people were killed and five others injured after a speeding sand-laden truck allegedly ran over a retired teacher and later rammed into an e-rickshaw in Uttar Pradesh's Banda district on Wednesday evening, police said. The incident took place in the Bisanda police station area. Following the accident, angry villagers blocked the road and staged a protest, prompting deployment of heavy police force at the spot.

A speeding truck coming from the Khurhand side allegedly hit and crushed him. Eyewitnesses said the truck wheel ran over his head, killing him on the spot. Locals chased the truck after the accident.
