JAUNPUR (UP), Oct 26: Three persons were killed and five were injured after an SUV vehicle rammed into a stationary truck here on Sunday, officials said.
They had gone to visit the Vindhyachal Dham temple on Saturday and were returning home when the accident occurred around 11:30 am near a petrol pump, not far from Gandhona village in Jaunpur district.
