Speeding Car Rams Truck, Killing 3 in Madhya Pradesh
A family from a town called Dholpur in Rajasthan was going on a trip in their car.

Very early in the morning, their car was moving very fast.
The speeding car crashed into a big truck that was parked on the side of the road.
The accident happened in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

Two other people were hurt badly and were taken to a hospital.
Luckily, the two children sitting in the back seat were not hurt at all.
