The mangled remains of the mini truck that overturned on the flyover on Wednesday
KOLKATA: Seven people were seriously injured after the mini truck they were travelling in toppled on AJC Bose Road flyover on Wednesday afternoon. The mini truck, cramped with 29 people, including women and children, was returning after a cremation ritual at Babughat when the incident took place.

Cops said that all the passengers of the truck were taken to the Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital (CNMCH) and they underwent preliminary treatment. Seven of them, including a 12-year-old child, were in a critical condition.
