Berhampur: A speeding pickup van hit the motorcycle and ran over it, killing a man, identified as Jayaram Nayak, his two daughters and grandson near Indhanpur under Gangapur police limits in Odisha’s Ganjam district on Tuesday.
While Jayaram, a native of Munigadi village, died on the spot, his two daughters and grandson were rescued in critical condition and admitted to Aska sub-divisional hospital, where doctors declared the two women dead. The minor boy was shifted to the MKCG Medical College and Hospital here as his condition deteriorated.
