Jammu and Kashmir: one dead, 17 injured in two accidents

On Tuesday, two road accidents happened in Jammu and Kashmir.

In the first accident, a motorcycle hit a taxi and an auto-rickshaw.

Then the auto-rickshaw hit five parked cars.

A teenage boy named Manish Kumar was badly hurt and died at the hospital.

Twelve other people were also injured in this accident.

In the second accident, five CRPF police officers were hurt when their vehicle hit a truck.

The officers were taken to the hospital and doctors are taking care of them.

Police have taken the vehicles involved in the first accident and are investigating.

These mountain roads can be dangerous, and experts say accidents happen because roads are in bad condition, people drive too fast, vehicles carry too much, and drivers get angry on the road.

The traffic department has put special checking squads on these roads to prevent accidents.
