Call it a mega accident on highway causing death to four persons. This happened due to a collision between two trucks in Jharkhand's Khunti district.  

The accident took place this morning at around 7 am at Chanpi village in Karra, around 40 km from the state capital Ranchi, after one goods truck collided head-on with the other truck due to dense fog, a senior officer said. 

The deceased were drivers and helpers of the two trucks, Karra Police Station in-charge Pankaj Kumar Das told PTI. 

 "A stone chip-laden truck and the other loaded with sand collided head-on. 

Two drivers and two helpers were taken to the Sadar Hospital where they succumbed to their injuries," he said. 

 The three of the four deceased were identified as Sikra Pahan, Dinesh Pahan and Pankaj Munda. The identification of the other person is yet to be established, Das added.
