At least four people, including three school children, tragically lost their lives, and eight others were injured in a tragic road accident near Tirla Chowk in the Gola police station area of Jharkhand's Ramgarh district on Wednesday morning.

The accident occurred when a truck loaded with potatoes overturned and fell on an auto-rickshaw carrying students of the Goodwill Mission School.

The children, aged between five and eight years, were buried under the truck. Despite the efforts of passers-by, who rushed to the scene to rescue them, three children and the auto driver died on the spot.

The injured were promptly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police and administrative officials have arrived at the scene to manage the situation and investigate the incident.
