Dutee Chand’s relative killed in car crash

Jajpur: One person was killed and another sustained grievous injuries after a car owned by ace sprinter Dutee Chand met with an accident on NH-16 near Biju Nagar under Kuakhia police limits in Jajpur on Wednesday morning.

The victims, Utkal Guni (25) and Dhaneswar Das (24), are said to be relatives of Dutee. They had taken the car out to learn driving, but unfortunately lost control over the vehicle following which it dashed against a stationary paddy-laden truck.
