13 dead, 15 injured as tractor-trolley overturns in MP’s Rajgarh

RAJGARH: Thirteen persons, including four children, died and 15 were injured after their tractor-trolley overturned late Sunday night in Piplodhijad in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district, an official said.

Of the injured, 13 have been admitted in the district hospital while two have been rushed to Bhopal for advanced care due to wounds to the head and chest, Rajgarh Collector Harsh Dikshit told PTI over phone.

“The toll is unlikely to go up since the two severely injured persons are out of danger,” he said.

The victims were members of a marriage party that had come from neighbouring Rajasthan, local residents said.
