CHHATARPUR, MADHYA PRADESH: Two children were killed and more than 20 people were injured after falling off a tractor trolley they were riding in. The incident took place on the Bijawar-Bajna road in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district during the afternoon hours on Monday. According to the Additional Superintendent of Police Vikram Singh, a family had purchased a new tractor-trolley in the Jujharpur village and was headed to a local temple with some other villagers also being along for the ride. The accident happened when the tractor swerved to avoid hitting a motorcycle in its path, causing the occupants of the trolley to fall. As a result, a 14-year-old girl and an eight-year-old were killed. In addition to the deceased, the accident also resulted in more than 20 people being injured, with these people being sent to the district hospital for treatment.
